Today I want to acknowledge this High Holy day. Yom Kippur begins this evening at sundown. Yom Kippur is considered the most important holiday in the Jewish faith. I often contemplate different religious traditions and the diversity that various cultures provide us.  I have always been interested in the dream world and its fascinating images and metaphors. For me, dreams hold hidden messages from a mystical space.  Whenever I travel, I am reminded of change. There's the change you initiate and the change that is thrust upon you. It's how you embrace or reject change that colors your life experience. 
This summer, I am participating in spiritual theologian and eco-justice champion Matthew Fox's course on Catholic Saint Hildegard von Bingen. Author and mystic Mirabai Starr was a recent guest who shared the words of one of Hildegard's sacred chants. I have been captivated by it ever since.  The 5Rhythms dance movement was founded in the 1970s by former American dancer and author Gabrielle Roth. She focused on five "body rhythms" to become more conscious through the action of dance.  Solstices hold a special reminder for me that a new path will reveal itself. This past year, the world has experienced a combination of events that could have been written in fiction books. |
