Today I am carrying 2 stones in my pockets. The peace “hearth stone” was part of a ritual in my morning class offered by Marie, one of my amazing Roman Catholic peers. The stone chose me (according to the ritual) and is a needed message for me about balance, center, and biting off more than I can chew. The other stone is one that I chose to pick up from a #tdor altar, “to help carry the burden of lives lost.” With everything going on in the world and in many of the circles I operate within and try to support, this time is heavy with grief and struggle. I find this contrast with a season of thanks and the coming of Advent to be infusive. May we all find a balance between grief and joy, saying “yes” and saying “no,” giving and receiving, works and grace. #prayer #ritual #tdor #translivesmatter (at Pacific School of Religion)
