"The desert is a place of spiritual revolution, not of personal retreat... It is a place of deep encounter, not of superficial escape. It is a place of repentance, not recuperation. Living in the desert does not mean living without people; it means living for God." #richardrohr | https://cac.org/daily-meditations/experiencing-our-own-deserts-2023-03-01/

God is

You are

Be grateful

👋 Hii!!

#AlanWatts is my sleep whisperer. My overactive thinking often prevents me from sleeping unless I have his voice reminding me that I am an aperature through which the universe sees itself.

#RamDass helps me to open up my heart, when it's feeling cold.

#RichardRohr has shown me what all of those principles would look like in a #Christian

Attitude or our identity
'Life of Brian'

This week we are looking at a famous passage, where Jesus is on a hill speaking to a multitude of people, where the only negative comment in the Monty Python ‘Life of Brian’ film was “Speak up!” Can you recall what the passage was about? You see, I think it was not Voter ID but Church ID. This one, or is it truly us? The Beatitudes in Matthe

Imagination is largely a matter of being able to re-image life in new ways. It is not to be caught or trapped in old images of hopelessness. When we’re trapped in old images, we keep living out of them, fighting against them, resisting them, and even saying they don’t work. But it seems we are incapable oftentimes of creating or even accepting new images and living out of those new images.

#RichardRohr #Prophets

I think what they give us are, among other things, new images. They give us new images by which we can capture and grasp reality. It seems that a failure of the modern church, maybe of the church in every age, has been a failure of imagination. The prophets explode our imaginations if we can learn how to listen to them and learn to understand the images and metaphors with which they speak.

#RichardRohr #Prophets

From Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation
The prophets speak out of a deep experience of God. It seems, somehow, that they’ve entered into the heart of God. They’re bold enough and brazen enough to almost dare to say, “I’ve seen God. I know what God thinks. I’m going to tell you what God thinks.” It takes a strange kind of self-confidence, and even inspiration, to be able to speak with the self-assurance of the Jewish prophets.

"Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise."

-Richard Rohr

The point of the Christian life is not to distinguish oneself from the ungodly, but to stand in radical solidarity with everyone and everything else. This is the full, final, and intended effect of the Incarnation—symbolized by its finality in the cross, which is God’s great act of solidarity instead of judgment.
~#RichardRohr, The Universal Christ, p. 32

Everything visible, without exception, is the outpouring of God. #RichardRohr
