BEING BRAVE

Rock I carried on the El Camino then deposited in Finisterre (End of the Earth) upon completion of my 500 mile walk.

God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.

Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

REFLECTION:

  • What “work” is being asked of you?
  • What is a task you need to do (an action, a conversation, an examination) that is nudging you to take? 
  • Be brave… do the work!

YOUR TASK

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within you that you have built against it, and embrace them.

RUMI

Rumi, was a 13th-century Persian poet, Hanafi faqih, Islamic scholar, Maturidi theologian, and Sufi mystic originally from Greater Khorasan in Greater Iran. Source:  Wikipedia

REFLECTION:

  • What barriers have you built against love?
  • How can you embrace them?

HEALING OLD HURTS

Rock found along the way on my El Camino walk in May 2022

Healing old hurts can only begin when the children we once were feel safe enough to speak their heart to the adults we are now.

Quote by L. R. Knost

L. R. Knost is an award-winning author, feminist, and social justice activist, and the founder and director of the children’s rights advocacy and family consulting group, Little Hearts/Gentle Parenting Resources, and Editor-in-Chief of Holistic Parenting Magazine.

REFLECTION:

  • Do you have old hurts that need healing?
  • Do you feel safe enough to speak about them?
  • What do you need to do to feel safe?
  • What does the ‘adult’ you have to share  – what heart message does it have for you to help heal old hurts … to feel safe to share?
  • Take a step today toward healing.
