As you know, I've been having a dialogue here and with several friends and colleagues about the need for a new language in which to speak our experience of nature-connection and sensory awareness of the deeper currents in life. As part of this conversation, the following words came through Bob Stilger from the Berkana Institute. They have been ringing in me ever since, so I thought I'd share them with you:
"I (suddenly) realized what was needed wasn’t so much a new language as a new listening... We must listen deeply into these resonant fields...
Words, new and old, will eventually emerge which we use to communicate with others. Our invitation, I think, is to learn to hear these words as invitation, not as dogma. To hear them as incomplete and yearning rather than as Truth."
And so I find myself listening for invitations ...
