Harvesting my Life - March 2023
One of my wise mentors invited me to reflect on my life. The word harvesting emerged in my
psyche. What did this mean? For me it meant reaping the benefits of my life’s most meaningful,
fruitful, or valuable experiences, people, and events. It’s like reaping the harvest of a field,
separating out the grain from the chaff. But how to do it? I didn’t have the energy to detail my
life chronologically and I was a bit self-conscious about writing a whole story about myself. In
reflection I came up with an alternative option; answering a set of evocative questions and then
naming what I learned from answering them. I include the questions that I chose and a story of
one of the most surprising things I learned. I invite anyone to join me in this harvesting…
Begin this harvest by reflecting on an intriguing question from the this list.. You can start
there. OR you can read these simple guidelines before you begin.

Beauty Water Lily...thanks to David Liedl
"Beauty is a thin place, a place in which our souls connect with someone or something beyond us. The human soul is hungry for beauty. Beauty is everywhere." What is beauty for you? Where are you seeing it in your life? How do you feel in the presence of beauty? See the beauty by clicking here |
Hope Flame of Hope...thanks to Jenny Larson
"Hope is the basic belief in the spark of essential goodness in the world, a core feeling that there is a way out of the darkness, and that the Holy is indeed present despite the prevailing evidence one might have accumulated." Hope is the other side of despair. It is the twin sister of suffering. It is the belief that there is a bird that sings to the dawn while it is still dark. What gives you hope, like a candle in the dark? How do you sustain hope when you are in chaos? How do you provide hope for others? Experience hope by clicking here Where I find hope poem |
Healing Reconciled...thanks to Deb Turnow
Healing is the experience of being whole and loved despite our life circumstances. We are called to core healing, no matter what our journey." When we are unhealed, we feel wounded in body, mind or spirit. Everyone suffers, so we all share the experience of brokenness. But what we do with our suffering, what we believe about our suffering and the process we engage in for healing make all the difference. We may not experience a cure, but we have peace of mind and a reconciled heart. What in your life needs healing? Do you want to be healed? What is your belief about your suffering? How is God involved in your suffering? Experience healing by clicking here |
