The Conversation





Elements From The Conversation 


“Grace transforms our failings full of dread into abundant, endless comfort … 
our failings full of shame into a noble, glorious rising …
our dying full of sorrow into holy, blissful life. …. 
Just as our contrariness here on earth brings us pain, shame and sorrow,
 so grace brings us surpassing comfort, glory, and bliss in heaven … 
And that shall be a property of blessed love, 
that we shall know in God, 
which we might never have known without first experiencing woe.”

~ ~

"And God showed me that sin will be no shame, but somehow honor for humanity. . . . 
God’s goodness makes the contrariness which is in us very profitable for us."

                                                                                                    Julian of Norwich


Music 

“No mistakes in the tango, darling, not like life.
It’s simple.
That’s what makes the tango so great.
If you make a mistake, get all tangled up, just tango on.”

                                                                           Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade,
                                                              Scent of a Woman (1992)


We  experience God much more as a dancer than a judge. Instead of condemning and punishing, he tangoes us out of all the places where we've got all tangled up.

The Enneagram is part of that tango.




Love

  'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering  Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
