When we stay in the question we explore the totality of possibilities. They involve reflection, deep listening, honest conversation, and intimate ways to expand our relationships within our own communities. The work of repairing the world is endless and beautiful. It begins in the question.

The very natural and very common discovery we call awakening is really just the ongoing process of opening to a much bigger perspective of this mystery we call life. We become intimate with the moment and live the questions.

Lisa Ferraro and Erika Luckett join me this Sunday to explore our connection in the Big Heart. Get a taste of the Circle of Love Gathering with these two amazing ladies. Their workshop FINDING GRACE THROUGH LIFES CHALLENGES follows the service.

Why are we here? We’re here to be here. How we give attention to what’s happening is much more important than the actual things that are happening. Be here now is the law of our life.

The path of the heart is also the path or least resistance. We learn to listen and be fully conscious yet free of any effort. We embrace what is and turn toward what is difficult and allow it to guide us. 

It’s a secret hidden in the open, that when fully here, we can find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Beauty is everywhere. What matters is in every small thing. “He who sees beauty in the smallest of things is better than seeing an angel.” -Meister Eckhart.

The depths of life seek us as Deep calls unto deep. The deepest places open us to a spacious awareness that is alive with insight and possibility. Visitations to the Deep makes life both softer and stronger at the same time. The gifts revealed are unlimited and always fresh.

Life stays possible when we open our hearts and work with what we are given. We do what we can with what we have, loving what’s before us. This is how we mine the gold of each unfolding moment.

When up close, each thing reveals its shimmer. An unexpected closeness holds everything together. We experience moments that take our breath away. "Where so ere I turn, I see the face of God," coined the sage. STOP! LOOK! AND LISTEN! 

When we know the art of how to suffer, we suffer much less. We’re able to make use of the mud of our suffering to grow lotuses of love and understanding. In transforming our suffering we do so for ourselves, our ancestors and descendants.
