I think of the poet G.M.Hopkins' concept of our "inscapes" being that deep, inner place within us which makes us both uniquely ourselves and interconnected with all creation, a place that can only be discovered by God revealing it to us. Allowing time and being in spacious landscapes are pathways to such revealing and discovery. And as another poet, W.B.Yeats says "We can make our minds so like still water that beings gather around us, that they may see, it may be, their own images, and so live for a moment with a clearer, perhaps even with a fiercer life, because of our quiet." May these times reveal delightful landscapes and rich insights, as you nurture your inscape. We are all the beneficiaries of the wisdom you distil in the quiet.<br />KarinaKarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01521424622390600756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2924240683704590332.post-38113247448023159972015-12-14T15:27:24.945-08:002015-12-14T15:27:24.945-08:00Dear Sarah

In time, I imagine this blog will be a source of sustenance to many. In the distracted and superficial world of 'commerce' we need to hear the voices of those with enough courage to draw aside from time to time and say 'no' to business as usual. Thank you for your commitment to the work of stillness and silence and for your willingness to share its fruits.
