WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS
+ This is a post on the style of The Way of Nature as we
continue to explore Heavenliness through the lens of the 12 styles of the Mandala process. There are 5 more styles to
explore and then we will move on to the 9 Attributes of Heaven.
+ The world is
holy. We are holy. All life is holy. Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of
breaking waves, the whisperings of grasses, the shimmering of leaves.

Tempest Williams from Talking to God:
Portrait of a World at Prayer (anthology)
This was the Gratefulness Word for the Day on February 18, 2015
+ Holiness
is the ninth of the 12 practices we are exploring. The word saint comes from the same root. You are holy.
You are a saint. You shimmer and
shine and whisper and wave. We are in
this together with every molecule, every atom, every star, every galaxy, every
blade of grass. Can you get in touch
with something very natural today? A
blade of grass might work. So many other
possibilities.
Enjoy being holy.
Enjoy being a saint. Enjoy the
unfolding process of this holy creation which not only includes you but needs
you, wants you, cherishes you. You are
fantastic. You are wonderful. You are
holy. Yes, YOU are.
