Ruah Bull - Spiritual Director

 It is as if what is unbreakable - The very pulse of life- waits for everything else to be torn away, and then in that bareness that only silence and suffering and  great love can expose, it dares  to speak through us and to us. It seems to say, if you want to last, hold on to nothing. If you want to love, let in everything. If you want to feel the presence of everything, stop counting the things that break along the way.

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.
