Sabbatical Wonderings

What has arisen so far on my sabbatical is few “wonderings.”   Your thoughts and insights are welcome.

Can’t say anymore – “Covenant Community Church: Not Your Parents Church”

Why do we create so much busyness and stress?  Stress and anxiety are not the natural state of things, so we must create it for a reason or out of ignorance.

Why don’t I take more intentional time to move into rhythm and flow?  It takes intentional time and space, but not a lot.  How can offer and create this time for Lori? 

How do we flow in a mechanical world?

Why does Spirit manifest the way it does?  How do I not hinder or defile pure manifestation?  Is pure manifestation possible? 

What would it be like to live and move and not create ripples?  Like a bird that soars without flapping it’s wings or a cloud that moves, becomes, floats and disappears with ease and beauty.

How do we create containers of transformation?  What are the ingredients? 

Worship is to safe?  How can we make worship a more transformative evocative container?   Why do I like the word “evocative?”

I get more excited about doing it than writing about it?  Whatever “it” is… and there are many.

We only have one life to live… and if you live it right – its too much!

[Carol]

My fiftieth year had come and gone,
I sat, a solitary man,
In a crowded London shop,
An open book and empty cup
On the marble table-top.
While on the shop and street I gazed
My body of a sudden blazed;
And twenty minutes more or less
It seemed, so great my happiness,
That I was blessed and could bless.

W.B. Yeats
