Contemplative Sit | 12-Minute Meditation with Dr. Barbara Holmes

CAC faculty Barbara Holmes reads the words of Douglas Christie from his book The Insurmountable Darkness of Love: "I'm suddenly aware of my weariness, my fragility, my deep uncertainty about what is happening to me, and where I'm headed in my life. Have I even begun to reckon with the depth of the sadness I carry within me or its sources? I know I have not. But here, in this place, I begin to realize that I must open myself to these questions. This is part of why I'm here. The shared silence, the intimacy, the sense of relief that we can let go at least for a little while of every inclination to explain or account for what is happening to us. We can't explain it anyway. Sometimes we can hardly explain a word—this life we are living is ineffable. Better to acknowledge this and relinquish the illusion that somehow, somewhere there are words sufficient to encompass our experience." —Douglas Christie Practice with us: https://bit.ly/3vzfyQF Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditations are free email reflections sent every day of the year.
