Last Sunday I went
to bird church, or maybe it was river church. Either way, I was greeted by gulls, mallards, heron, cedar wax wings, and approached by Mystery. There were flowers offering praise and beauty in purples and gold. The sky opened space for us, the constant flow of the river whispered ageless truths. I wandered prayerfully then returned and waited, wondering who would offer the benediction. I suspected it might be gull, perched proudly on a rock in the center of the river. But, no. Soundlessly, a single yellow leaf spun down from above, swirling to a resting place in front of my feet: Go in peace. - Wendy Janzen

 Grounding Practice
In the spirit of knowing that everything can be a prayer or spiritual practice when we bring that intention to it, I will be posting some short, simple practices you can try anytime in your day to ground you and connect you with the Earth and with God’s sacred presence. Take off your shoes and allow your bare feet to connect to the holy ground you are standing on. Stand still. Wiggle your toes. Feel the earth and note its temperature, texture, etc. Imagine roots extending from your feet into the ground, connecting, rooting, grounding you, supporting you, anchoring you. Receive the gifts this place has to offer. Give thanks for your feet, and for the earth. |
