OUR AMAZING JOURNEY 2025 -- 4
REASONS
TO BE HOPEFUL ON OUR AMAZING JOURNEY
Building a
Bridge is one of the many Samara Jade songs offering hope and encouragement in
these times. Here are a few sentences and phrases which stick out for me. As I
did the selecting I realized that I included most of the song. May I suggest
you do Lectio Divina. Choose words or phrases to meditate on. The 4
stages of Lectio Divina are READ, REFLECT, RESPOND, REST. Take a moment of
silence in each stage and wait for a word or phrase to stick out :
·
So
what will you sacrifice, what will you leave behind? What tools do you carry in
your spirit, soul and mind? What hardships have you gone through that prepared
you for this strife? What gifts do you offer at the altar of life?
·
We
are building a bridge across the unknown
We’re all going together, no one’s going alone
We’re all building a bridge and we each bring a stone
No one’s built it before but the blueprint is in our bones
·
We’ve
taken and we’ve dominated all that we could claim
And now we’re being colonized by something we can’t tame
Because the earth she is wild and she wants us to slow down
·
In
this new world we’ll be leaving separation behind
·
We
are the descendents of the ones who have lived through
Plagues and wars and genocide, flood and famine too
Their wisdom lives on in the ground, in our bones and dreams
Let's call upon the ancient ones to guide us through this scene
May they help us remember how it feels to be in sync
With the rhythms of the earth that we’re inseparably linked
·
There’s
no going back to normal - at least the normal we’ve known of
We are crossing to a new world on a bridge we build with love
