"Our spirit is where we receive God's life. Our soul we experience God's life. Our body is where we express that life." Found written a journal dated 4/10/19 click here for source closest to quote
"...Pull weeds, line-dry clothes, make jam, walk to the mailbox. There is much to savor in slowness, when quality of attention allows noticing each detail - intimacy with soil soft flutters of well-worn shirts / hands and berries creating together grass getting dewy in moonlight. ~ Heidi Barr
Quote: last sentence of The Untethered Soul: "And if God is in ecstasy, I wonder what he sees when He looks at you." p. 181
"...Rhythms of ritual, in ceremony of the holy ordinary." ~ Heidi Barr
"Stillness is vital to the world of the soul. If as you age you become more still, you will discover that Stillness can be a great companion" ~ John O'Donohue
"The fragments of your life will have time to
Unify, and the places where your soul-shelter is wounded or broken will have time to knit and heal." ~ John O'Donohue
Wonderful gifts of the Spirit: Wisdom, Understanding Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Awe (Fear of the Lord) Isaiah 11:2
eXist, eXpand, eXperience
"You will be able to return to yourself. In this stillness, you will engage your soul. Many people miss out on themselves completely as they journey through life. They know others, they know places, they know skills, they know their work, but tragically, they do not know themselves at all. Aging can be a lovely time of ripening when you actually meet yourself, indeed maybe for the first time."
