ILLUSION OF POWER

“There is a cry from all of Creation for a claiming of the ones who dwell in the darkness. And they huddle in the cold and wrap themselves in the tattered rags of their riches and their indifference and their power. And they are starving at their banquet tables heaped high with the illusion of plenty.”

Close to Home by Erin Caldwell

REFLECTION:

What kind of “banquet table”are you seated at today?

Does your life project an “illusion of plenty” yet you are starving at the table?

If yes, is this how you want to live? What can you do to begin to transform your life to one you love living?

If you are loving your current “banquet table”, make a list of things you are grateful for.

As THE DAILY SPARK begins….

May I have the courage today

To live the life I would love.

To postpone my dream no longer

But do at last what I came here for

And waste my heart on fear no more. 

From: TO BLESS THE SPACE BETWEEN US by John O’Donohue ( part of a larger blessing titled A Morning Offering)

REFLECTION:

  • What is a dream you are postponing?  
  • How can you embrace courage to “live the life you would love?”
  • What is one thing you will do today to “do at last” what you came here to do?
