Water and Spirit

Water strong and deep,
the kind that is able to
fall in a gentle rain
to nourish a dry thirsty earth.

Water strong and deep,
the kind that has the power
to rage and tumble over rocks
and make rapids.

Water strong and deep,
the kind that is wild
breaking it's banks
refusing to be reigned in.

Spirit
like water
falls in a gentle nourishing cascade.

Spirit
like water
flows powerfully
moving us to action.

Spirit
like water
refuses to be held in boundaries.

Spirit
that guides my steps
to be Your hands and feet God.

Spirit that opens me up when
I need to return to the
water of Your presence God.
The well of renewal in Your word.

So that I can once again
be like nourishing, renewing water
to those that cross my path.

AMEN.

Whispers of Holy Breath

I invite you to pause for a moment and take some time for some contemplative play with todays image, as an extra bonus this one comes with sound too.

Start by finding a quiet spot and letting the sound that accompanies this image be all that you hear. Then take some time and let the image fill your mind as you focus on your breath and letting yourself slow down into this time and this space.  Letting your breath and this video be all that you attend to right now.

Consider these questions:

What do you see?
What do you hear?
What does your imagination do with this picture?
What words come to mind?
What favorite quotes from your favorite spiritual literature come to mind?

I invite you to join in conversation with me in the comments below what has come of your contemplative play time today.
