I recently sat in the corner of my backyard with my dog, soaking up the rays of sun. The ten minutes I spent sitting still and petting Bingo felt like a lifetime. In the busyness of life, I never cease to be amazed by how important it is to slow down. Rest. Reflect.
In this new year, my wife introduced me to a “Calm” meditation app on our phones – sponsored by our healthcare provider – that’s been a fantastic, grounding experience for us to both benefit from each day. It only takes a few minutes! It’s working for me to integrate this into my daily rhythm.
Speaking of rhythm, I’m pleased to share the new Bruno Mars video that brought a smile to my face last week. Along with this quote from Father James Martin, I hope you find them refreshing resources for your own reflection. Blessings on your week ahead!
Loving Beyond Boundaries – Fr. James Martin, SJ
What would it mean for us to love beyond boundaries? It means loving when you are tired or stressed or overwhelmed….[it] means loving people who live in places we may never visit – or have heard of….Loving without boundaries also means putting that love into action.
