If I be Lifted Up
There have been some amazing cloud filled days in the past week – its not a picture we see in our dry climate – sunny, cloudless days. But of late, clouds have been forming early in the day and floating about with a light Spring breeze. May is dedicated to the Lift – being lifted up in ways that encourage us to see more clearly both the path in front of each of us, and the path of the greater good. The title of the Blog actually has a bit of a biblical reference and points to when one of us is lifted- we all are better for it. We can feel this lift in our moods, in our thoughts and in our actions – as we move into a sense of love and caring for each other – of the changes we are all experiencing – and the necessity of community around us. One of my heroes, Father Greg Boyle says “if Love is the answer, then Community is the context and tenderness is the methodology.” I will be writing about how all of that connects all of us to being lifted to a new sense of connection and possibility.
But for this week – I think just a simple lift is in order and for that I am going to call on my super power – the Boss and friends (do you recognize them?) …sing along…dance like no one is watching and remember…Love lifts us all – This one is for Char who lifts me up every week!
