A very precious jewel to reflect and reflect upon…
one which illuminates the deep heart of the previous post…
is offered in James’ teachings entitled Vulnerability as Hope.

If you’ve already watched this perhaps you may remember the ‘ghost’ explanation/connection which comes around mid-way!

But even if you have, and certainly if you haven’t, do take a (nother) look and listen.

These teaching are so rich that it’s unlikely that we are able to digest and incorporate them sufficiently well – to be able to reflect upon what this means for us, and become more aligned with the truths expressed – in just one sitting.

In the little group i facilitate the first fifteen minutes brings more than enough to the table to fill the stomach…
And fifteen minutes chunks may be a very helpful way to try listening or re-listening…
With space for the words to sink in… drop by drop…if we are very dry, otherwise so much just runs off us.

Walking in the desert, being so hot and tired and thirsty…
then coming across a waterfall of clear cool water flowing over the rim of a rocky outcrop
How amazing and wonderful it is to just stand underneath and let it flow over us…

As the words wash over us… we know they are good and refreshing…and,
amidst the aridity of much that is around us,
such relief…

But it’s on opening the mouth to drink,
gently… gulp by gulp,
that satisfaction’s found…

beyond belief!
