It is Memorial Day, 2009. Hubby is painting the den per my request for a place to see clients in spiritual direction. And I have puttered around today doing this and that. One of the "this's" is to create this blog; a new blog created after my three years of school.
I learned so much in school. I learned the art of spiritual direction, yes, but more than that, I learned about myself. I visited my strengths, weaknesses, gift and shadow elements. It was said that we students would need to learn how to sit with ourselves before we could begin to sit with another. Put another way, we cannot expect another person to go to interior places and feelings that we are not willing to go to ourselves.
My hope is to continue the journey of self awareness while seeing clients. I will certainly do that through reading material, continuing education classes, sitting with my own spiritual director, and prayer and meditation. But all of life is filled with the Spirit. There is no day that is not infused with Spirit, no person who doesn't embody Spirit, no bit of nature nor any thought, word or deed in which Spirit does not dwell.
And so, as I breathe, I question. As I question, I search. As I search, I become aware. As I become aware, I breathe.
Welcome to my world.
