Brother Sun

Posted on by riverspiritwalks

This morning’s waking gift was the pink horizon anticipation of the sun along with the crescent moon with a reflection on mother Superior. It reminded me of St. Francis prayer, Canticle of the Sun.

….Praised be You God for all Your creatures,

especially Brother Sun,

Who is the day through whom You give us light.

And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,

Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my God, through Sister Moon and the stars,

In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair….

Blessings on this day before us.

I recently took a walk on El Camino Frances in Spain, traveling for about a month. During that time I posted a blog to document my journey as a way to share the experience with others and in the process found I enjoyed writing about that which arose in the day and became fodder for deeper reflection. Since returning I have decided to keep writing offering my reflections on the day-to-day life journey. The lens I look through is influenced by my role as grief counselor, the artist journey of mixing water and paint on paper, studies in meditation and mindfulness and my own unique life experiences of study, travel and exploration. I am nearing retirement in about a year, from my role as grief counselor, and find that my reflections on the journey of a soul might be helpful for those who are trying to navigate life with its many transitions and opportunities for transformation as well as a way for me to continue to be of service. I walk this journey with my husband, Leo, our two adult children and 4 grandchildren. They keep it real and greatly increase my opportunities for laugh and play.
