Lent: The Elephant & The Rider

Day Twenty-One of Lent. This meditation is a visualization exercise to bring us in greater connection with our own minds & motives.

During this meditation, and for the third & fourth weeks of this series we meditate upon the Call to Endurance. Where do we draw strength from, when we feel weak? How can we learn to have grace for ourselves in those moments?

Let this meditation take you deeper in communion with God. And let this series be an edifying part of your Lent practice.

I loved this peaceful meditation and the accompanying metaphor of the elephant and elephant rider. At first glance they appear as separate entities. Yet together they make up a system of interdependence that, when aligned, moves smoothly in harmony. It's a great metaphor for inner self and logical mind and I can both see the great parallel and feel its wisdom. The metaphor served me well when I did this series during Lent. I can appreciate the message even more now after completing a refresher on the lesson now that Lent is over and I carry my revelations forward into the sea of daily life.
