From The Restory - Conversations On The Journey (125)

After The Retreat

“About eight days after saying this,

he climbed the mountain to pray,

taking Peter, John, and James along.

While he was in prayer,

the appearance of his face changed

and his clothes became blinding white.

Meanwhile, Peter and those with him were slumped over in sleep.

When they came to, rubbing their eyes,

they saw Jesus in his glory

and the two men standing with him.

When Moses and Elijah had left,

Peter said to Jesus, “Master, this is a great moment!

Let’s build three memorials:

one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

He blurted this out without thinking...

When they came down off the mountain the next day,

a big crowd was there to meet them....”

‭‭Luke ‭9‬:‭28‬-‭29‬, ‭32‬-‭33‬, ‭37‬ ‭(The Message)

Music

The title of the album is "Into Silence", but this track reminds one of an entry into life from the silence.

As always, with our love.

Skuld as Motivering Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "I am convinced that guilt and shame are never from God. They are merely the defenses of the False Self as it is shocked at its own poverty — the defenses of a little man who wants to be a big man. God leads by compassion toward the soul, never by condemnation. If God would relate to us by severity and punitiveness, God would only be giving us permission to do the same (which is tragically, due to our mistaken images of God, exactly what has happened!)." Richard Rohr ~ ❖ ~ "It is about as hard to absolve yourself of your own guilt as it is to sit in your own lap. Wrongdoing sparks guilt sparks wrongdoing ad nauseam, and we all try to disguise the grim process from both ourselves and everybody else.
