Be Not Afraid In These Hands
your weekend task
Question….
If you didn’t go to a religious gathering.
If you didn’t read a sacred text.
If you didn’t listen to any podcasts or audiobooks about spiritual stuff.
If you cut out all the outside narratives about life is and about what you should think about all this is…
If you just walked through your day….
The grocery store….
School pick ups…
Bird song…
Garbage can pick up…
Interaction with people…
Sunsets….
Weeds growing through cement tracks…
Animal personalities…
The colors in the world…
The depth in human eyes…
The thing behind the thing….
Would you conclude that there is something deeper?
Would you conclude a Giver to all this?
If you did, would you call it God? Or would you call it a different name?
What intimate personal names would you give to what you are witnessing about what’s going on?
This is your weekend task.
It works by Hafiz
This art and text are exactly what works for me today. The amazing colors of birds and marine life affirm the God of my understanding. I sort of like one of Anne Lamott's names for God: Phil, for Phillippians 4:4-7.
I would rather hear your voice. I don’t think she recognizes “bird song “.
