Holy Blackness

We spent our last session together exploring holy darkness, the deep blackness of this time of year.

We discovered that darkness brings up many feelings: fears of death, despair, sadness and loss, depression, slumber parties and whispered secrets, deep stillness, peace. We then inquired together with the lights turned off. Hushed voices filled the dark sanctuary. Many us shared in a deep sense of safety, peace and mystery.

Remember to step outside at night and savor the darkness and the piercing stillness.

Slow down, remember to sense your arms and legs. This is a time of deep interiority, a deep pregnant abiding in the mystery of the depths.

Many many blessings. Happy holidays.
