Grief Companioning
If you have recently experienced a loss or it has been many years you are on a journey often denied by modern culture. The most common responses may be ‘you will get over it’ or “time will make it better”. Your grief journey is unique to you. It is heartfelt and something will never be the same. EVER. If you would like to explore a healing process of the heart and soul unique to your experience you can read more here…
“We suffer to get well. We surrender to win. We die to live. We give it away to keep it. This counterintuitive wisdom will forever be resisted, denied, and avoided, until it’s forced upon us by some reality over which we are powerless—and, if we’re honest, we are all powerless in the presence of full Reality.”… Richard Rohr

MORNING GLORY
Sometimes it’s better
to pray with your eyes open
to see the hummingbirds
buzzing around like golden snitches
in search of morning nectar
or watch dawn
begin to drape
her diaphanous, light woven shawl
over the landscape
of your heart and mind.
sometimes it’s better
to pray with your mouth closed
to give your soul a platform
to listen to the seas of beauty
pulsing within silence.
Perhaps what I’m saying is that
prayer is an invitation
to let go of format,
and enter the holy bones
of your body’s sweet temple
and whatever tongue, whatever movement
whatever way your longing pulls you to connect
with the sacred “WOW”
that is always sitting deep within your chest -----
That is holy,
That is prayer.
Chelan Harkin
