Ruah Bull - Spiritual Director

Consider the lilies, how they use their precious blooming to share beauty with this world. You, too, were born to open in the light. You, too, are given life to cultivate your gifts and let them lift you out of fear and doubt. A vast garden of love is all around you now if you can see beyond the tangled weeds to the mystery and  radiance beneath.

 There is no controlling life. Try corralling a lightning bolt, containing a tornado. Dam a stream and it will create a new channel. Resist, and the tide will sweep you off your feet. Allow, and grace will carry you to higher ground, The only  safety lies in letting it all in- the wild and the weak; fear, fantasies, failures and success. When loss rips off the doors of the heart, or sadness veils your  vision with despair, practice becomes simply bearing the truth. In the choice to let go of your known way of being, the whole world is revealed to your new eyes.
