THE DAILY SPARK

ENTER THE STREAM

It seems we always have a choice:  to remain a builder of fences or to enter the stream and ignore all fences.

FROM: Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo

REFLECTION:

  • Do you build fences to protect yourself?
  • How often do you enter the stream and ignore the fences?
  • What choice are you making today? Are you building a fence or entering the stream?

ENCOURAGEMENT OF LIGHT

How

Did the rose

Ever open its heart

And give to this world

All its

Beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light

Against its Being

Otherwise,

We all remain

Too

Frightened.

Poem by Hafiz

REFLECTION:

  • Who has been a light for you – encouraging you to open… bloom?
  • Who have you been a light for?
  • Is there someone you know who is frightened … needs the encouragement of light to open their heart?
  • Reach out to someone today who needs encouragement.

WINGS

You were born with wings, why do you prefer to crawl through life?
