It’s really easy to focus on what religion gets wrong, the hurts and masks and perfectionist tendencies we don as a result. That’s a valid place to be.
And...and there is beauty to behold when imperfect people come together to raise babies, share our inklings about wisdom, and learn to love the best we can.
Yes, I agree! I think I move in and out of that space of pushing against what feels wrong vs reaching toward what feels right. I think it's a sign of deeper healing for me that I'm able to get back to the reaching toward a bit faster.
Beautiful list. Child, teen, adult, elder - this fits for any age! But what a gift to start with these as a child! We would have a different, healthier world if this was our focus!
i want my children (both in their 30s now) to know and feel and experience how much peace and comfort an honest and true and personal relationship with god can and does bring. despite all the church bullshit that we exposed them to growing up. It was ugly and could have been handled better. i feel guilty.
I too hope you all find healing and anything is possible. I got that as a child, and today I have a beautiful deep connection to this planet, sacred & the divine!
Beautiful. So much of what you share feels to be a woven human truth of liberation, vulnerability and wonder.
Thank you, Rhiannon!
