I love to be challenged in how I see the world....to not be separated from the Truth, to walk humbly and pursue a love for justice. I believe God has had much mercy on my life and today I discovered a huge gift of communion presented to me. There are a few words that root from a well known late Middle English word: Common. Communion, Community, and Communication which I discovered were very integral to my day and caused me to stop and ponder often....I saw a thread that tied them all together...in Common! What does it mean to partake in Communion? To share intimate thoughts on a mental, emotional or spiritual level is what the dictionary says. I think there is a grace that is needed to enter into this exchange which transcends one's own agenda, and calls for one to lay down and become humble. This is not an easy process if your mind is flying all of the time with ideas, imaginations, quandaries, to just pause and listen to someone else's world. You did that for me today and for this I am grateful.
