I've had a pretty chilled Advent so far, off work last week, working from home and in the office this week. Tomorrow all that changes; back to work, back to shifts and I'm worried the stress and anxiety are going to creep back in, even though I feel kind of on top of things- even the tree is up. I need to keep things manageable, take it a day at a time, and remember what the focus of my Advent is.
I'm not sure if the topic of Richard Rohr's reflections will change on Sunday, he can be in equal parts utterly engaging and completely baffling! Here's what struck me from today's:
Loss precedes all renewal; emptiness makes way for every new infilling... but every time you and I hate, fear, compete, attack, judge, separate—thus avoiding the necessary letting go—we are resisting the full flow of Love, the energy which is driving the universe forward.
Today I felt joyful decorating the Christmas tree, thankful for some good financial news and helpless over what I couldn't achieve with my time off.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me
Psalm 25.20a
