“The more you turn inward, the more available the sacred becomes. when you sit in. silence and turn your gaze toward the holy mystery you once called God, the mystery follows you back out into the world. When you walk with purposeful focus on breath and birdsong, your breathing and the twitter of the chickadee reveal themselves as miracles. .” GodSilenceMysteryHolyMiracleSacredBreathChickadee Book:Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics Source: Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics
“Your God would never punish you for being a human being: this life itself is your penance...But it is also more than that: it is a crucible for transformation. Each trial, every loss, is an opportunity for you to meet suffering with love and make of it an offering, a prayer. The minute you lift your pain like a candle the darkness vanishes, and mercy comes rushing in to heal you.” LoveGodSufferingHumanityPrayerHealingGods Love Book:The Showings of Julian of Norwich Source: The Showings of Julian of Norwich
