Recognizing Wholeness
December Theme — Living as Wholeness. Week 2 — Recognizing Wholeness
Affirmation: I am whole and connected with all life.
In her book, Grounded: Finding God in the World , Diana Butler Bass wrote, “When we recognize our common humanity – when we recognize our own humanity in the face of the other – we also recognize the face of God.” There is a vision of love and wholeness deep within us all, an intuitive sense of our Oneness with God and with each other.
This week was a special meditative music service by Youth Coordinator Heather Marsh-Prelesnik and her mom Janice. Their beautiful music and readings took us on an amazing journey within.
Reading excerpts:
~ Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks, Essential Rumi
The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.
Don’t go back to sleep.
You must ask for what you really want.
Don’t go back to sleep.
People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch.
The door is round and open.
Don’t go back to sleep.
Excerpt from "Love Out Loud" by KC Taylor — Science of Mind magazine September 2023 page 68
“Love, another word for Spirit, is literally all there is. We were all born of love, made of love and express as love, even when it doesn’t look or feel like it. If Spirit, which we also refer to as Love, is all there is, every single experience of life is a holy moment made up of the energy of Love. Love is the reason that life creates and persists, against all odds.”
