Days 321-322 Harvest

Shared by Liz Sorensen Wessel 

"If the only prayer you say in your entire life is thank you that would suffice." Meister Eckhart

Harvest Season 11-27 17

 

May you be quickened by the Spirit who fills the whole earth and lives in you.

May you stand firm and tall like a mountain.

May you move through the world like the wind, listening to the secrets alive in your heart and the hearts of others.

May the holy Fire that burns in you become bright, become Love – a passion for justice and unity in our world.

May you be life-giving water for all, shaping and being shaped, flowing into the fullness of God.

Blessing by Mary Southard, CSJ, Compliments: Ministry of the Arts

    Very beautifully written and expressed! The metaphor to water, is close to my heart and it “flows” out of the previous thoughts, as well.
    I wish you rich holidays and bright tomorrows, with continued fluidity of spirit, thought, and expressions; Godspeed!

    Yes. Gratitude is surely at the heart of all great prayers – Thank you to God rather than asking God for more.
    Thank you, Liz. Thank you, Terry.
    Your watercolor, Liz, says a wordless and beautiful thank you.

    Is this quote from Eckhart Tolle? Just spent a good while listening to a video of Tolle and Ran Dass regarding nowness. Funny how Fr. Rohr, Tolle and Ram Dass all come together. I did think of you when reading about the book on aging and dying by Ram Dass and wondered if you and Erie had read it. I went to Ram Dass gatherings in Berkeley in 1974 discussing his book “Be Here Now”. Coincidence? Thanks, Liz!

    Thank you, now that is a prayer I say about ten times a day. I knew that your painting would work. Nicely done.
