Familiarity as Facade / John O’Donohue [SSL161]

Today, I’m reading an excerpt from John O’Donohue’s gorgeous, instant classic from 1997, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom. The eternal is nearer to us than anything; just as the most familiar can be, or become, the most unknown. Let us pierce the facade of the familiar in order that we don’t grow deadened.

Inert Ways of Knowing / Parker Palmer [SSL160]

Today, I’m reading some excerpts from Parker Palmer’s classic Courage to Teach. Using his wisdom to give insights for our times, I want to expand how we consider each other, communicate and move forward through the challenges of our times. Objective knowing is inert and leads to objectification and distance—there are better ways.

Falling Apart [SSL157]

Today, I’m reflecting on the stages of grief and the feelings of falling apart that are more common at this stage of the pandemic time of seclusion. I’m inviting us to look to the spiritual insights of our siblings of the American Black Church and the contemplative practices of embodied lament that are a testament to their spiritual nourishment and survival under the horrific institution of slavery and continual mistreatment and injustice endured since the African diaspora of the 1450s. I am reading passages from Barbara A. Holmes powerful work Joy Unspeakable: Contemplative Practices of the Black Church.
