This is gunna be a doozy!

May you become friends with your sorrow &longing; honor it with lament that engages God in your suffering. May darkness & the slower path become friends to you. You don’t keep time with anyone else but the Spirit now. Take all the time you need, you’re not late/lagging. Healing doesn’t mean that pain disappears in a puff of smoke. Embrace a plain ordinary healing that prioritizes rest, joy, ritual & compassion.

Sometimes when we don’t know what we think about anything, it’s nice to rest in someone else’s faith for awhile. Open your hands & receive whatever lands. Everywhere we are is already held in the love of God, even in those times when night gathers & you are on your own. I pray for you to be surprised by clear streams in the desert, to remind your soul of all the ways the sacred is still hiding in plain sight.
