Random thoughts:
I went to a Healing Touch workshop a few days ago. Woah. It was profound for me. I don't really know the science behind the information presented regarding energy fields around us, etc. But it was interesting and in sync with my own experience. Then after some time in centering prayer, we had a short time of laying on of hands on our partner. Both times, as recipient and as "healer" I truly felt an outpouring of God's love. It was like a current and it was beautiful and humbling. It made me want to learn more.
My discernment committee meets this week. I'm supposed to talk to them about my spiritual gifts. Hmm.. Kind of hard to determine yourself. I mean, I have some ideas...should be an interesting exercise to journal about that before the meeting.
I'm re-reading yet another L'Engle book and it has an immediate effect on me. In the healing touch workshop, they talked about a part of our brains (and the brain-heart connection) that is full of potential that we hardly tap into. And when we're merely in survival mode (which we're in most of the time) we don't have room to explore this more intuitive, hopeful, imaginative side of ourselves. When I read L'Engle (who writes about the need for the recovery of our intuitive selves and who writes from that place) I feel that part of me re-awaken and I calm down and I trust more.
Quote of the week:
My almost 5 year-old said, "Mama, I want to get married some day. Mama? Is my husband a little boy right now?" And she said it with such wonder and wide gorgeous hazel eyes. sigh.

I found it so interesting to read about the Healing Touch workshop. Your experience was so profound! I believe all that, but have never experienced it.
Wishing you well for your discernment committee meeting.
Reading this just after Tai Chi. I feel like I am dancing with the energy there and it feels holy. Sometimes there is a current I can see in someone hands, sometimes I can feel it between me and someone else. Definitely a manifestation of the Sprit.
RE: The spiritual gifts, sometimes it helps to think about the things that you are passionate about,that really move you...Sometimes they go hand in hand.
I love your daughter's insight...that is just so amazing that she would think that! WOW!
Oh, I just want to hug your little girl. How sweet!
What would your discernment committee say if you said your spiritual gift *was* discernment? (I'm not kidding...)
Healing touch is awesome...as a former massage therapist I totally believe it....but, I always included prayer (well, silent, 'cuz not all my clients would have appreciated prayer).
Love the quote from your daughter...so precious...in all the best ways
Oh, Iris, that made me laugh out loud! I mean...I OVER discern EVERYTHING. How interesting that it could be a gift. I'll have to discern about that one...
