pensées: Slow
http://melissajoypowell.blogspot.com/2008/07/slow.html
Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Tuesday, July 08, 2008. In what ways do I need to slow down? What inward disciplines of 'slow' do I need to cultivate? What outer disciplines of 'slow' do I need to consider taking up? Use the stairs instead of the lift. Don't just jump in the car - ask yourself; Am I in a hurry? Can I walk there? Can I use public transport to get there? Cook twice as much and freeze the extras to use at other times. Eat/consume food slowly not in a rush.

Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Tuesday, October 27, 2009. Yesterday I walked out into our Kitchen and proclaimed that. Sara Miles 'Take this Bread'. I haven't found myself quite so taken with a book in a long while. I keep having to stop and catch my breath to try and take it all in. It is fascinating, challenging, offensive, affirming, confusing and profound all at once. And all wrapped up in some achingly beautiful prose. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Thursday, September 27, 2007. The view from our kitchen window this evening:. Wednesday, September 26, 2007. Snake catching and the ordinary aucklander: a history. Our voting papers for the Local Government elections arrived on the weekend, along with the usual array of electoral campaign rants which promise much and say very little. But I was most bemused by this comment from Elliot Blade, a candidate standing for Auckland City Councillor:.

pensées: Stop
http://melissajoypowell.blogspot.com/2008/07/stop.html
Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Tuesday, July 08, 2008. What do I need to stop. What are the attitudes I see in myself that I want to 'cease'. What are the practices in my life which keep them rooted in my behaviour? Do I need to employ in my life in order to help me become free? Take time to stop and enjoy eating with family/friends rather than rushing from one thing to the next. Sit down, eat more slowly and engage in conversation with those you care about. Do I really need it?

Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Tuesday, July 08, 2008. Are their resources or skills I have that I can share with others? Is there someone I know who can teach me something new? Or someone who can help me to complete a project? Is there a resource I have (e.g. a vegetable or herb or fruit tree) in too greater abundance to use it all myself? How can I share my excess with others? Is there a skill I have that I could teach someone else? Get to know your neighbours. I live in Auckland...

One of the things we encourage our community to do at cession, is to consider making a 40 day goal over the Lent period that will aid you in working toward a bigger spiritual growth goal that you have set your self for the year.

Vous dites que je suis hérétique. Cela est-il permis? Monday, February 18, 2008. I have just completed my first weekend of Lent 2008 and I was entirely unsuccesful in maintaining my Sabbath day.

Has been telling me for some time that I should put imaginary appointments with people in my diary. I guess this isn't too dissimilar - just that I'm not actually imaginary.
