People of Wonder,
My name is Michael. And I am a Pisces. (Hello, Michael)
Over the years, I have read many a horoscope, the positive and negative traits about my birth sign. “Sometimes Pisces emotions are so deep and so powerful words cannot express them… They are as unfathomable and mysterious and powerful as the ocean… Pisces is represented by the symbol of two fish swimming in opposite directions, which is thought to capture the sign’s dual nature and tendency towards introspection and escapism.”
And you?
This week we continue Beguiled by Beauty: Abyss, Mystery, and Wonder as we look at Psalm 135:1-3, 13-21. Marcia McFee, the creator of this series writes, “The spiritual part of ourselves is a ‘divine abyss.’ It is a dimension that is not touched by words, thoughts, ideas, and feelings.” No matter how we locate or define God, God and our experiences of God are unfathomable. I love that mystery. The constant journey toward knowing and understanding that which we will never know.
I look forward to seeing you at 10 am on 1130 Balclutha, Zoom, or Livestream this Sunday.
Share the adventure with a friend,
Rev. Michael Cronin
P.S. Don’t forget to return your homework – “How has beauty been a source of resilience and hope for you?” – for the gratitude jars!
