“Holy Spirit,
giving life to all life,
moving all creatures,
root of all things,
washing them clean,
wiping out their mistakes,
healing their wounds,
you are our true life,
luminous, wonderful,
awakening the heart
from its ancient sleep.”
– Hildegard of Bingen (HT: inward/outward)
I woke up from a “fulfilling” 40 wink nap a while ago. Gareth joined me in this necessity. My voice is getting so much better after that. The nap was special because I think it included a good dose of emotional and intellectual rest. Letting go of entangled feelings is always a good thing. Allowing my bubbling brain to settle down is good for fresh thoughts. Plus, it was nice to have a little companion to be with me during this rest.
In the midst of all this, I wonder how the Holy Spirit works quietly within us. I do discern some awakening the moment I opened my eyes 🙂
