Contemplative Pause...
"The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds and makes of all political and social life a mass illness. Without this housecleaning we cannot begin to see. Unless we see, we cannot think. Nothing can take the place of thoughts. If we do not think, we cannot act freely." -Thomas Merton, Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander (New York: Image) 77 and 79.
Contemplative Pause...
Contemplative Pause...
Throughout this week... PAUSE.
TAKE A BREATH and LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART.
What is one thing
that you can do
in this moment
to spring clean?
