Month: December 2019

Every meal is holy. Every meal is communion.
Every meal is an opportunity to connect with God and feel the Presence.
I eat with intention, awareness and gratitude.

Every movement of my body in exercise, work and play is a holy practice.
Every movement is an opportunity to connect with God and feel the Presence.
I move with intention, awareness and gratitude.

Every thought that I have about my physical self is a reminder that God created me.
Every thought is an opportunity to connect with God and feel the Presence.
I bless my body. I remember. I give thanks.

I live each moment in the present, and in the Presence.
I am connected, healthy, vibrant and wholly whole.

Thank you, God. And so it is. Thank you, God. Amen

‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’ Philippians 4:13

Every now and then I pick three or four familiar favorites off the shelf and just browse through them. A paragraph here, a chapter there.

That doesn’t work so well with a new book, but these are, for the most part, books that I’ve read and re-read. It’s like visiting for a few minutes with old friends.

And it’s uncanny: I can open to a random page and zero in on a paragraph that will yield a new insight. Very often it’s something I missed when I read the book straight through previously, and very often it’s something that’s useful and uplifting to me right now, today.

At the moment I’ve got these in a kind of loose rotation:

‘Living Buddha, Living Christ’ by Thich Nhat Hanh
‘Everyday Grace’ by Marianne Williamson
‘Breakfast With Buddha’ by Roland Merullo
‘Think Eat Move Thrive’ by Dr. James Rouse

What are you reading? And how?
