Reading this, I am at once roused and calmed. "Blessed Emptiness" is, I think, a place many run from. It's an opening and a dropping in. Thank you for sharing Chautauqua with us, Alan.
Thank you, Cate. Indeed, that "blessed emptiness" is easy to run away from. Yet if we are willing to allow ourselves to empty out--to reach that blessed state of emptiness--the gifts are profound. It is, as you say so beautifully, "an opening and a dropping in."
Beautiful to hear you read this at my dawn here in RI. That third photo is remarkable, it seems to depict a different experience in one part of the lake than another. Dark & stormy is some places, sunny in others. Apropos!
Simply beautiful Alan. Soothing for me to listen to. x
Thank you, Jo. Thank you for listening!
What evokes the sacred in each of us ... such a beautiful way to bring us to self, honoring in that moment, our connection to everything.
Indeed, Linda, thank you. That definition of "sacred" from Huston Smith has been with me for years.
Hi Alan
Thank you my dear friend, always on time.
I am the Chautauqua. Forget everything else.
Dare I?
Gratitude for you presence, being as Home.❤️
Thank you, Dagmara!

Sitting with these beautiful lines of yours this morning, Alan. 🌅 thank you !
Thank you, Marie. I trust these lines are taking you to places in you that are asking to be seen.
