Union with God is not something we acquire by a technique but the grounding truth of our lives that engenders the very search for God. Because God is the ground of our being, the relationship between creature and Creator is such that, by sheer grace, separation is not possible. God does not know how to be absent. The fact that most of us experience throughout most of our lives a sense of absence or distance from God is the great illusion that we are caught up in; it is the human condition. The sense of separation from God is real, but the meeting of stillness reveals that this perceived separation does not have the last word. This illusion of separation is generated by the mind and is sustained by the riveting of our attention to the interior soap opera, the constant chatter of the cocktail party going on in our heads.-Into the Silent Land: A Guide to the Christian Practice of Contemplation by Martin Laird

Walking along the beach, feeling the sand between your toes, grounding you with each step as the steady roar of the ocean fills the air, sometimes a deep rumble, sometimes a gentle sigh. The waves rolling in gently and then retreating like breath itself, and in their rhythm you find space to think, to wonder what lies beyond that moment. Questions surface quietly—what is next, where will the path lead, what unexpected turns might life still hold? With the horizon stretching endlessly in front of you, you can't help but wonder - what lies ahead: something to fear or an invitation, as wide and open as the sea before you?

So the bruises are from a new exercise class I started last month - pole fitness. I was inspired by a blogger I follow. She was not a small girl, but was strong, also a runner. And she loved pole dancing. So I tried it! I am the oldest in the class, the slowest learner, and I have some health issues that interfere. But the class is so interesting to me, and enjoyable. After each one I feel stronger. And I notice my confidence building with each class. Being OK with the current me - has helped take a lot of pressure off. It has been a fun experiment!
