THE DAILY SPARK

WHAT WAITS…

“In truth, there is a small one who suffers in each of us.  An angel trying to grow wings in the dark, and as this angel learns how to sing, we lose the urge to hide… to speak what feels unspeakable and have it release what waits in us all.  When the heart speaks, all hearts fly.”

Quote from A BOOK OF AWAKENING by Mark Nepo

REFLECTION:

  • Is there an angel that wants to sing? 
  • Is there something that feels “unspeakable” that is waiting to be released? 
  • What “heart speak” do you need to say? Go for it!

A STORY

Sometimes you need a story more than food to stay alive.

Quote from Barry Lopez

REFLECTION:

  • Is there a story you need to hear?  Find it
  • Is there a story you need to tell? Go tell it!

True Desires

    All people at work suffer in silent and subtle ways, as all people desire above all for freedom of expression and to speak and define themselves honestly.

    From: A reading by Martha Snyder

    REFLECTION:

    • Think about or write about a time you felt you expressed yourself honestly.  Where was it? What happened?
    • Is there a situation at work or personally where you  need to speak and be honest? 
    • If you could end the silent suffering, how would you do it?  Take one step toward that freedom today.
