"And at the end of my heart's testing, with your likeness let me wake" Kristyn Getty
I am not really enjoying this Lenten journal exercise. I begin one and what I wanted to write about gets distracted or the words cannot take form; however, when I just write, without reason or without purpose, just write, the words come. The words find their way to the paper and the page begins to fill.
This process makes me wonder if that is what true listening is about.
Simply to begin listening without reason, without purpose, without expectations, without anything to gain.
Is that what this is truly about?
Is this what you mean by emptying myself?
Is this what it means to pray, "Lord, unbind me and let me go"?
Perhaps.
Perhaps I am beginning to see with eyes that are not my own; and listen with ears that are not my own.
