Like last year, I am anticipating what a new year may bring. I feel aware of my desire for the following Generosity of Spirit:
Growing my awareness and understanding,
to expand my capacity
for wisdom and love.
From its onset, Saturday Mornings has become a way of noting a bit of this process for me.
When I first started doing Saturday Mornings, the following seemed to capture its essence for me (I think this still holds true, so I don't want to forget it):
"I've been drinking (coffee)...and writing on Saturday mornings. I don't claim much, but am willing to share some of the stuff I encounter in this wonderfully, mysterious life. I appreciate more and more simple words from an old hymn, "Strength for Today, Bright Hope for Tomorrow". What more could I really ask for than these two things? Perhaps some of my thread can be a part of our tapestry."
The next phase (2.0), it seems to me, captures the natural expansion of what this has been saying. More than just observation, reflection, and self-discovery, I want to grow further by extending it to others, increasing my capacity for love -- something that often seems to require wisdom.
Perhaps, as each day unfolds this year, it will continue to reveal God's Spirit in me and whatever this means for what I offer the world around me.
