Author Laura Swan explains: “Apatheia is purity of heart. The ammas [desert mothers] teach us to intentionally let go of all that keeps us from the single-minded pursuit of God: feelings and thoughts that bind us, cravings and addictions that diminish our sense of worth, and attachments to self-imposed perfectionism. Apatheia is nourished by simplicity grounded in abundance of the soul.”

Some souls seek to walk in awareness. Souls who walk in awareness choose a different path. They seek to experience all the peace and joy, limitlessness and freedom, wisdom and love that Oneness brings.

Image Based Journaling is today at 2:00 at the community house at 2701 Dogwood Dr, Edmond, Ok. The theme will be "Imbolc". This is a new word for me and may be for you. It is the second half of the winter season as we move towards spring. It reminds us that there is a hidden energy getting ready to come alive in just a few weeks. It reminds us to attune ourselves to the subtle messages and changes in our souls that will be evident in spring. What stirrings do you sense? How can you nourish the new that wants to be born?
I hope to see you all there.

“Everything in creation becomes a catalyst for my deepened self-understanding. The forest asks me to embrace my truth once again. The hummingbird invites me to sip holy nectar, the egret to stretch out my wings, the sparrows to remember my flock. Each pine cone contains an epiphany; each smooth stone offers a revelation. I watch and witness as the sun slowly makes her long arc across the sky and discover my own rising and falling. The moon will sing of quiet miracles, like those that reveal and conceal the world every day right before our eyes.” Christine Valters Paintner, her book; Earth, Our Original Monastery
