Transcript

Welcome to day 32 of Lent,

My dear friends.

Today's meditation is our second of the series on Genesis 1 and emphasizes our connection to all of creation.

To begin,

I invite you to be still,

Which simply means to find a comfortable position in a space relatively free of distraction where you can quiet your mind.

Close your eyes if you feel safe and comfortable to do so.

Adopt an attitude of gratitude and non-judgment.

For today's meditation specifically,

It's particularly important to observe a posture of non-judgment toward oneself and embrace a heart and mindset of peace and loving-kindness.

Genesis 1 tells a story of a God who creates the whole universe out of infinite love and creates all of humankind in the image of divine light and love.

Let us take a moment simply to reflect upon that.

All of humankind is created in the image of divine light and love.

The image of God connects us to one another in profound and beautiful ways.

The image of God in me sees the image of God in you.

The breath of life connects us to all of creation,

To all of creation.

We are connected to all things.

We are connected to everything and to everything.

The DNA of God is imprinted on everything.

We are connected to everything.

Thank you for meditating with me today my dear friends.

May grace and peace,

Light and love,

Be with you.

Reviews

I really appreciated this reflection on our connection to God and each other. I specifically meditated on what it means to see God in everything, including those who I disagree with the most. It can be challenging but it is good work and leads to more spiritual growth.

Beautiful and thank you for your time, thoughtfulness and loving kindness for all.

And what a joy it is to be connected like that, Amen 🙏 🙌
