Rev. Margee Iddings lead us in
our Wednesday worship on the theme, “Deep Listening.’ We were blessed by her
spirit and presence with us. Magee has extensive experience with labyrinths
including creating labyrinths at a community college, a church and a hospital.
She was one of the co-creators of the Heart Labyrinth at Ghost Ranch, NM, so it
was appropriate that she lead us through the spiritual discipline of walking a
hand-held heart labyrinth. We focused don our ‘walk’ on the word ‘tears’ after
listening to a story on the ‘tears of the world’ by Theophane the Monk. For me,
the phrase that bubbled up was ‘every tear is counted.’ Whether tears of joy or
pain, none are insignificant and walks with us through them.
Here is the heart labyrinth and
some questions for contemplation. Remember: within every question is a
quest trying to emerge.
What words or phrases would describe your labyrinth journey today?
What bubbled up in you as you came to the "heart of hearts"-the center-of eh labyrinth?
Going deeper, did you hear the sound of the tears of the world? What tearful joys did you identify? What sad tears were evident to you?
