Contemplating what the spiritual journey is all about. It’s been such an up and down and round and round journey for me yet there’s something inside me that keeps calling me to stay with it or come back when I’ve temporarily let go of the focus.
I’m so glad to be this deeply focused on it now as I go through this training. I’m reading about other people’s journeys in becoming spiritual directors and some of my favourite reading is from Parker Palmer as I prepare to offer the Sacred Soul Circles for Spiritual Social Action. All that I’m learning currently as well as all the learning I’ve had over they years is coming together to form a kind of beautiful symphony.
When I have clarity about my vision and purpose, everything I experience, everything I read and ponder seems to be taking me in that direction. That’s the beauty and power of having some kind of vision or clear intention for life. I spent so much of my life being anything but intentional, at least on a conscious level, that the contrast is palpable.
I may not be doing a lot on the physical level these days but there’s sure a bunch going on in the inner world which is where I really live, where everything starts and ends. I’ve spent so much time worrying about outer concerns all my life, this is refreshing and renewing.
The beginning of Jesus’ ministry was when he came back from his desert experience telling the people to ‘Repent’. I get it; we need to look again, to change our minds, change our focus if we are going to experience the depth of being and meaning.
