Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Elizabeth Browning

letting go

Powered By Ringsurf

“There are too many people today who instead of feeling hurt are acting out their hurt; instead of acknowledging pain, they’re inflicting pain on others. Rather than risking feeling disappointed, they’re choosing to live disappointed.
                                                                        Brene Brown

Avoid it
Avoid it at all costs

That pain, that feeling
That disquieting thought
That uncomfortable truth

Stuff it down
Hide it repressive
Fill the trash can of your soul

What can go wrong?

Ah, the problem is that trash
Almost always,
Eventually
Stinks

Rot, rot
Fester, fester

And sometimes the trash can explodes
And what we chose not to deal with, not to express

Expresses itself
It attitudes
Feelings
Words
Actions

It explodes with in us
And we struggle with illness and pain
But it also explodes from us
And we act our pain and anger
Our hurt,

Wounded we wound
Fearful we live out our fear, creating fear

Infected we infect.

There is another option
We can accept
We can embrace
We can touch our pain, and let it go

We can notice what we think
And accept what we feel
And take a deep breath

And let it go

Call it what you will
De-fusing
Forgiveness
Centering

We touch all that is wounded in us
And then turn from it
And do what we care about

We love
We serve
We help
We heal

It is an old truth
“You can only lose what you cling to.” – Buddha

It is a basic truth
“whoever wants to save their life will lose it”

Ah my dear ones
Tonight turn off the TV
Shut down the computer
Ignore your phone

Walk out into the darkness
Gaze at the stars stretching into the eternal

And “give to the winds thy fears;
hope and be undismayed.
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head” (Traditional hymn)

You have everything to lose
Thank
God
