Valse d’Aouste - Amuserie sonore du 10 mai 2025
Ode des hauteurs, de pierre, d’air et de couleurs. Par amour des montagnes, aussi petites soient-elles, et de ce que l’on voit depuis leurs fronts.
Flûte en sol, bourdon et textures synthétiques (Arturia microfreak)

8 mai.
Une journée de mémoire, de silence et de présence.
Parfois, il n’est pas besoin de mots.
Marcher doucement dans un jardin après la pluie,
porter une pierre dans sa main et un peu de lumière dans son cœur.
« Je suis une présence silencieuse et fidèle.
Mon énergie, même discrète, éclaire ceux qui croisent mon chemin. »

"So this movement of lectio divina is radically based on trust, for it is an invitation into a nuanced expansion/transformation of consciousness that may not necessarily be easily experienced in terms of normal awareness." https://lttr.ai/AeEDi
We live in a time when more and more people have become disillusioned, not just with churches, but with institutions and large, influential organizations in general. What does this mean for contemplatives?

Jiminy Cricket seems to be a rather lackadaisical conscience, but isn’t that true of most peoples’ consciences?

Silent Sunday. I wonder what lead to two people walking into the puget sound, and contemplate life. #silentsunday #contemplation #photography #photo #nature #people #life #beach #pugetsound
This may sound hokey, but one thing that legitimately helps me fear strangers less is remembering that everyone is beloved. When I imagine someone deeply loves this stranger before me (who triggers something in me), so long as I know I'm deeply loved too, I relax a bit and take up my space.
I know this won't work for everyone and in every context, but it has been helping me while I've been traveling. Thought I'd share. Thanks for reading.

Nowhere, in the Bible or anywhere else, are Christians ever instructed to ignore knowledge that comes from ordinary human reason and observation. When we read the Bible, we need to keep this in mind.
