a little water for your soul
Earlier this week, I recorded an audio love note for the women gathered in Water Your Soul, and today, as I'm safe and cozy in my little home with Ellie Jane and thinking about my family gathered in Indiana for my grandfather's funeral and thinking about families on the other coast continuing to gather for funerals in a community that experienced the unthinkable last Friday, I feel deeply moved to share those words here with you today.
In the short audio, I share a few thoughts, read "A Morning Offering" by John O'Donohue from To Bless the Space Between Us, and share a chant. (It is about seven minutes long.)
My hope is that it will support you in creating space for a few moments of stillness this weekend.
Follow the directions below to download the audio and listen to it when you need a companion in the quiet over the next few days.
Peace and light on this Winter Solstice,
Liz

Thank you for sharing your words and your heart. I'm in the midst of preparing for a trip, a little frantic and, like you, feeling broken hearted over the tragedy in Newtown and missing my daughter who passed away a few years ago. Your words, the poem, the chant along with the gentleness of your voice have brought me back to myself.
Hello Liz, this audio file is sweet. Thank you for these words. For this poem. :)
Love your little gifts! Hope I can find you in time for a new Water For Your Soul group. I so enjoyed the Inner Excavations of the summer. I am still working with my visual journal system from that class. So much material! Thank you for your generosity! Happy Winter to you and yours.
I'm going to read A Morning Offering every single day in 2013. Thank you so much .... with all my heart.
LOVE this, love your beautiful voice in your talking, reading and chanting. Beautiful
