EnneaThought® for the Day

Take some time for yourself: just allow yourself to be with, to see and accept whatever comes up. Radical acceptance. Not approval, but an allowing yourself to be with whatever is arising.

ohhh- I love you so!

In light of such a rich graduation celebration weekend and rich four years at Scripps, I wanted to share this reflection from John O'Donahue about deep friendships. "In the Celtic tradition, there is a beautiful understanding of love and friendship. One of the fascinating ideas here is the idea of soul-love; the old Gaelic term for this is anam cara. Anam is the Gaelic word for soul and cara is the word for friend. So anam cara in the Celtic world was the "soul friend." In everyone's life, there is a great need for an anam cara, a soul friend. In this love, you are understood as you are without mask or pretension. The superficial and functional lies and half-truths of social acquaintance fall away, you can be as you really are. Love allows understanding to dawn, and understanding is precious. Where you are understood, you are at home. The anam cara experience opens a friendship that is not wounded or limited by separation or distance. Such friendship can remain a...

Anna,  First of all, this was the word of the day for Grateful Living yesterday which is so appropriate for the week ahead:  "Strength means honoring your entire range of emotion, even your despair and heartbreak.

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQu1CzAwDmQ The music director at Union created a Lenten playlist, and this was one he put on the list. Here is what he said about it:  "We all tend to internalize the lies that are told to us (or by us) about ourselves; for any number of reasons, we listen to the most critical voices and block out the ones that remind us of our inherent worth. I love that this song reminds us not only to reject those lies, but to return the goodness we receive tenfold into the world." The Returner- Allison Russell  Now I let go Everything that I've known Let it go on, let it roll out With the tide I can't think of a thing That hasn't been shot through with pain Like a nightingale's Song in the dead of the night Goodbye, so long, farewell, all I've been Ooh, oblivion Throw me in the ocean Ooh, see if I can swim I'm wild again, I'm a starchild again I've come ten million miles, ooh, I'm burning I'm a summer dream, I...
