Sail Away Sweet Sister

This is all about God, prayer, community, music, art, poetry, theology, love and all sorts of things people run into on their life journey, especially when the second half of life is looming ahead. It is inspired by Fr Richard Rohr, by the Contemplative Outreach of Fr Thomas Keating, by C.G. Jung, by C.S. Lewis, Alan Watts, St Beuno's retreat house and all the communities I have a privilege to belong to. It is dedicated to and I hope will be used by my nearest and dearest, scattered all over the planet, and who are falling upwards with me.

The way back is the way forward

I was so emotionally exhausted that I went straight to bed and slept for an hour.

Still struggling to understand why I subjected myself to two hours long torture of being convincingly told that I was not loved.  It was unnecessary and stupid, and added nothing to the sum of knowledge the enlightened humanity has on the matter.  The funny thing is that I seemed literally to ask for it. Couldn't stop it.  Something in me was nodding and saying : ay, there is nothing, just drop it all. Go back to your hole. 

I suppose the dear self again... Come, Lord Emmanuel, it is becoming urgent!
