There have been some interesting comments recently about the words on my blog masthead...
Wake up...
Be alive...
Stay curious...
...and then today these good words in a letter from a friend.......
...from George MacDonald's "Unspoken Sermons".......
Let us in all the troubles of life remember--that our one lack is life--that what we need is more life--more of the life-making presence in us making us more, and more largely, alive. Let us rouse ourselves to live. Of all things let us avoid the false refuge of a weary collapse, a hopeless yielding to things as they are...he has the victory who, in the midst of pain and weakness, cries out...for strength to fight: for more power, more consciousness of being, more God in him.
I ponder these words above as I again say the words below to you, fellow sojourner and blog friend...
...these mark my hours whether feeling lousy or super.
Wake up...
Be alive...
Stay curious...............................................................!
personally, i love your call to 'wake up' so many of us live in a stupor of denial and numbness...'be alive' is call to choose life, to engage and breath! while staying curious is a challenge... as many people never gat past the second question..."hi, how are you," and "having a good day" but rarely ask the question that meet the eyes and look into the soul;D
thanks for your wise words.
hope you are feeling on the upswing... pain in body and soul simultaneously is always tough...
praying for you, susie
