Today is the start of holiday that leads into study leave for me. So space to paint, garden, walk, drink coffee, as well as read and write.
I have 2 things I want to aim at in writing. One is to explore mission and piety, engaging with Calvin and Hans Urs von Balthasar. Both of whom come fromthe sdame grounding concerns as a minister myself. The second is to delve deeper into the psalms and a little project to put together some writing on these for practical usage.
The other week I had a dream about geese (Celtic symbol of the Holy Spirit). I read this in the book “Iona: Images and Reflections”(wild Goose publications 2007)
Soaring high over the isalnd. Free, yet also disciplined in their flight formation. The wild geese are always powerful signs of the ultimate Spirit which brings life to every human being: the Spirit which enables us to walk in freedom – in the light and truth and possibility of the Gospel each new day.
