Nature is preparing for an uprising

Memo to Self: Stay close to nature, and to your own creaturely instincts. It's a cold, hard winter out there, but underneath the ice and snow, nature is preparing for an uprising. There's underground work to be done for and with your family and friends, your community, your country, your soul.

Wisdom is whispering to you

In every moment,
in every event of your life
Wisdom
is whispering to you
exactly what you need to hear and know.

Who can ever explain this miracle?
It simply is.

Listen
and you will discover it
every passing moment.

Listen
and your whole life
will become a conversation
in thought and act between you and
Wisdom,
directly,
wordlessly,
now,
and always.

Transformation in Wisdom

I now find myself asking if possibly this is the time, the age, for Sophia:....a God image capable of moving with humanity into the next evolutionary era when the universe will be experienced...as an intimate, interconnected, and diverse communion of subjects...

Divine Sophia defies the supremacy of linear logic and rational analysis, she rejects the pyramid of hierarchical dualism by resisting our dichotomies....and withstanding the compartmentalized, objective mind-set to which we have been educated. In a word, Wisdom undermines the need to control life.

Sonnets to Orpheus II, 29

Let this darkness be a bell tower and you the bell.
As you ring, what batters you
becomes your strength

She is Divine Wisdom

She is Divine Wisdom. She watches over all people and all things in heaven and on earth, being of such radiance and brightness that, for the measureless splendor that shines in Her, you cannot gaze on Her face or on the garments She wears....She is like the Sun, which none can contemplate in its blazing face or in the glorious garment of its rays. For She is with all and in all, and of beauty so great in Her mystery that no one could know how sweetly She bears with people, and with what unfathomable mercy She spares them.

Psalm 101

Making a home in our hearts,
You are our Companion and Friend...

I accompany those who love You,
that I may grow in wisdom;
I enter into the Silence, into the
Eternal Light,
and listen for your gentle Voice.

To melt the armor of our hearts

At the mystical heart of each of the Abrahamic faiths lie teachings about the transformation power of fire and the identification of the Holy One with light. In Judaism, the Shekinah—the indwelling feminine presence of God—took the form of a pillar of fire at night to lead the Israelites through the desert. ....May we let ourselves down into the arms of fire and allow it to melt the armor of our hearts. The excruciating fire of our loneliness and our fear of intimacy. The sweet fire of our longing for union with the Beloved.

A sign and mystery of our times

Over the past centuries, the being of Sophia, or feminine Divine Wisdom, has been emerging from the mists of ancient history...to become a sign and mystery of our times.... wherever we turn, we see traces of her coming—as if tracking the fringes of her mantle as it brushed aside the tangled, sclerotic cobwebs of centuries of cerebration. As she draws near, much that was forgotten is reentering consciousness, not only as memory but also from the future, as possibility. It demands that we rethink who we are, whence we have come, and whither we are going.

An even deeper wisdom

Mystical wisdom derives from an ardent desire to abandon normal intellectual functions so that divine insight may enlighten this ardor and add to it another fire, much stronger, which lifts the burning soul towards an even deeper wisdom.

A sacred reserve of energy

Love is the most universal, the most tremendous and the most mystical of cosmic forces. Love is the primal and universal psychic energy. Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution.
