There is so much in this talk! The isolating effect of the pandemic enhanced the deconstruction movement of many, yet we now have a greater and pressing need. Not so much in the forms, that are breaking apart, but in the wild and untouched nature of joining presence. The knock is louder and closer. The pain and suffering more intense. Calling God to take us off the edge!
Thank you for this wonderful interview! BBT's books have been immensely comforting and encouraging to many of us at the edges of our spiritual maps.. 🩷🙏🕊️
"A meandering journey ..." that is so apt for many of us and the world we grew up in. The search for friends, for belonging, not finding it in church or elsewhere. Seeking for experience truthfulness and authenticity .To walk with a consciousness of walking on of holy ground ... in the evolution of my/ our spiritual/ earthy journey.
I have so totally lost any sense of purpose in my life never accomplished anything and I hate myself and I still love God still love no I don't know what I love the world I think... Can I come to Clarksville and see the art when would that be possible?
I learned this from Eckhart Tolle: “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” Jesus said, “for theirs will be the kingdom of heaven.”1 What does “poor in spirit” mean? No inner baggage, no identifications. Not with things, nor with any mental concepts that have a sense of self in them. And what is the “kingdom of heaven”? The simple but profound joy of Being that is there when you let go of identifications and so become “poor in spirit.” This is why renouncing all possessions has been an ancient spiritual practice in both East and West.” ― Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
A fool in Paradise is an expression I recently heard by Robert Edward Grant. He said it in the context of I would rather be a fool in Paradise rather than blah blah blah. I'd have to find it again to find the blah blah blah. For me being a fool in Paradise summarizes what spirituality is Pig
Please substitute a. Instead of pig in the above comment. Google seems to have a hard time with periods. I find it if I speak it very Softly it often get it right but then it turned around and changes it to something else. So please accept my apology for not catching it's little idiosyncrasy before this comment got sent.

The wilderness we were taught to fear that calls to us is but home.
Thank you 🙏🏼🌺
Morning Barbara Brown Taylor🌞🚭🌐🛡️♀️🧬🙏🍵🫖🤓🍿Holiness😊
I once wrote a paper for phemonolgy called Red Bird Flying Before Naming. Loved hanging clothes outside on the line when I could.
I so connected with Barbara's experience and her current map of the theological edges. I wonder if she is an enenatype 5w6 or 6w5?

I have lived at the edge at Uber the edge my whole life and I am who right now for the first time afraid.
Restorative.

Maybe poor in spirit includes depression. .
No it doesn’t 💕. God wants us happy 💕 He died that we may have abundant life in full and to the overflow, John 10:10. that includes our happiness 💕
