Prayer and growth

[tarr]

As part of my studies on prayer, I came upon this quote here - http://www.sacredspace.ie/#advice

I found it moving and meaningful:

This mid-summer Sunday the readings speak of organic growth: Rain waters the earth, making it bring forth and sprout…. The whole creation is groaning in

I'm really intrigued by the things you're posting, and how it resonates with me today. The remnants of the hurricane should be hitting my part of Indiana tomorrow, so we'll have thunderstorms likely and rain all the rest of the week.

I've just enrolled in a Spirituality With Animals e-course, myself. Today's the first day, and I'm invited to think about what we think about animals having souls, how we relate to animals spiritually, and whether we think of pets differently than other animals. If you want, you can learn a bit more about this course here: http://lists.spiritualityandpractice.com/listmanager/listinfo/practicingspiritualitywithanimals

Thanks for posting. I'm reading with alot of interest.

I'm going to try that course when I have a little more time. Gary thinks I'm crazy because my mom and I still miss a family cat who died about three years ago. But he was more than "just a cat." It sounds crazy, but he was our friend.

I'm glad I'm able to share this stuff with someone other than my journal and my teacher!
