On This Second Sunday of Advent

Let Us Give & Hold Space

Advent is the season of liminal space where we are called into the in-between, into this sacred space of change and transformation.

The Liminal Space of Thresholds

Advent is a pilgrimage of the heart where we kiss the earth so that we might see into the greatest of mysteries, to gaze into the Eternal in the eyes of a child. 

"In the universe, there are things that are known, and there are things that are unknown, and in between them there are doors."
~ William Blake 

Of Giving & Holding Space 

We all need to consciously spend time at the thresholds of our lives, and we need wise elders to create and hold such spaces for us. 
~ Richard Rohr

Let us release ourselves from our body, holding us to a past we can't change, 
Let us release ourselves from our mind drawing our attention to a future we can't control, 
So Let us inhabit our Presence in this liminal space between...

As Christ we companion each other in the Divine

Let us give and hold space for each other there 
on the threshold of transcendence and change
in the thin places of the earth and heaven.

Let our Presence be for each other
light and life, breath and spirit
May we be catalysis for the soul. 

Let us give and hold space
in the ebb and flow, 
in the coming and going
in the guiding and reframing, 
in the tears and the joys

Let us give and hold space for each other
in ascending and descending, 
in birthing and in dying
in the loving and in the suffering, 
in the building and in the breaking,
between who we are and what we will be
between all duality in the wild unfettered wholeness. 

Let us let go, unattaching and disentangling ourselves, our pasts and our futures falling off us like old tattered garments as enter this liminal space 

Let us give and hold space in the in-between
In the here and now, 
On the threshold of time and eternity,
Let us give and hold space with our Presence for each other's souls. 

Happy Advent!
