“We are not earthly beings having a spiritual experience: we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience” (Kona Brown)
We spend much time taking care of and agonizing over our bodies and physical appearance. We absorb information and form opinions about the world around us. We read, argue and post on social media platforms. We grapple with our emotions and analyse our highs and lows.
BUT … do we take care of our spiritual self? So often the soul is underfed and neglected. It yearns to be let out of the dark closet, dusted off and fed with God’s light and truth. When the soul is ignored, all other aspects of our lives also suffer and we merely limp along.
“In the silence of the heart God speaks. If you face God in prayer and silence, God will speak to you.” (Mother Teresa)
