First some words of deep wisdom from Albert Schweitzer:
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person.
Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.”
Here is a simple body prayer exercise that you can do to connect with all the folks in the balcony of your life. Lying down on the floor on your back, or sitting up in a chair, gently close your eyes and pay attention to your breath.
Do this slowly. As Marv Hiles says: “Slowly is like holy”.
As you breath in, bring to mind a person who has birthed, formed and informed, touched your life and is a part of the fabric of your life. Allow an image to come and as you exhale slowly silently say: “Thank You”. And continue moving through your life, allowing yourself to remember folks who blessed your being, and always end with: “Thank You”.
You may be astounded as your memory brings to consciousness folks you had long forgotten who live in the balcony of your life forever.
You were blessed by their being.
Close your eyes and prayerfully, with deep gratitude, remember all those people, places, institutions that have been the “wind beneath your wings.”
“As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.”
-Maya Angelou
With you in awakening to who God is in us and to who we are in God.
We are all sparks of the Divine flame
