113 Shifting Winds

What this episode covers

Episodes 113-116 move us from fall to winter at winter solstice. What happens when the winds shift and the days darken?  Gathering Word: A Liturgy for those who feel distant from God by Heidi Johnston Every Moment Holy Volume III I recall with longing days whenthe waters parted at your command and youcarried me, featherlike, into your presence;when your lovingkindness was the whisperthat revived my weary soul;when your presence was the pillar that marked my path by day,and your voice the flame that banished darknessand kindled my song in the night. Oh God, my God,Where is your comfort now? If in this season of loneliness your silencesimply offers me a chance to do what will neverbe asked of me again in all of eternity to come; to trust without sight, believing that time will vindicate my hope and prove you ever constant, then give me the courage to stand, trusting thatthese lines I throw out are not cast into emptinessbut, passing through the veil, have taken hold of Things eternal. Give me boldness now,even as doubt crouches at my door,that I may choose to anchor my heartnot in the ebb and flow of feelingsBut in what I know to be true. ______________ Andi Chatburn: https://www.andichatburn.net/ Audre Rickard: https://www.saturatedgrace.com Heather Fignar: http://www.heatherfignar.com Irene Dunlop: https://www.tendsoulcare.com  If you need support during this season, please reach out to a friend or call a crisis hotline: dial 988
