Mindful Moment

This is My Song: A Hymn by Lloyd Stone and Georgia Harkness

This is my song, O God of all the nations,
a song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine;
but other hearts in other lands are beating
with hopes and dreams as true and high as mine.

Mindful Moment

Walt Whitman

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d’oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depress’d head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels.

Mindful Moment

John Woolman, 1763: A Plea for the Poor

“Our gracious Creator cares and provides for all his creatures. His tender mercies are over all his works; and so far as his love influences our minds, so far we become interested in his workmanship and feel a desire to take hold of every opportunity to lessen the distresses of the afflicted and increase the happiness of the creation. Here we have a prospect of one common interest from which our own is inseparable, that to turn all the treasures we possess into [the channel of universal love] becomes the business of our lives…

Oppression in the extreme appears terrible: but oppression in more refined appearances remains to be oppression; and where the smallest degree of it is cherished it grows stronger and more extensive. To labour for a perfect redemption from this spirit of oppression is the great business of the whole family of Christ Jesus in this world.”

Mindful Moment

Sacred Text: 1 Peter 5:7 AMP: Cast all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on God, for God cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully].

Nowadays my mind seems to receive little repose. I am continuously thinking about the path towards healing. There is so much space needed for healing in our nation, on our campus, and in our lives. Many of our treasured Guilford College staff and faculty are no longer at the college. Some students have transferred, many remain. We all feel their loss. As we do the hard/heart work of rebuilding and saving the college, we must also hold space for repair, trust- building, healing, and reconciliation. Pain must be acknowledged.

On a national and local scale, this past year has pivoted the nation and our campus into an unprecedented year of social justice, social change and a call to action. While our campus is responding to its own trauma, the world is responding to a global pandemic, racial tensions and violence. How can we cultivate a community of care and concern? How can we mirror the image of God by receiving the cares of our loved ones and community? In an attempt to foster self-care and community care, I have been studying different healing practices. A few of those practices follow. Click the links to learn more. 

Quaker Silence, Meditation and Prayer: Originally offered through the Friends Center, I have attended Quaker minister Sara Beth Terrell‘s Experiment in Silence for over a year. For me, even as a non-Quaker, it has been life changing and consciousness altering. Sara Beth shared, “Out of silence, we can come to new places, we can allow new thinking. We must reimagine how we do education and the church, and many other longstanding institutions. New thinking often comes about when we are in conflict. When we are in silence together, bonds form that we may not even be aware are forming. Silence can bring a sense of care, bonding and healing.” 

Talking Circles/Peacemaking Circles: I recently invited Dr. Kenneth Wallace to speak to my Multicultural Leadership Scholars class, an African American Choctaw residing in Montreal, Canada. He shared about the indigenous practice of Talking Circles, also called “peacemaking circles.” These circles privilege both talking and listening as mechanisms for deeper understanding and respect. According to practitioner Alaina Winters, “Processes are based upon equality between participants and the principle of sharing power with each other instead of having power over one another.”

The Black Church: Theologian Shar Walker wrote, “The black church was birthed from a place of marginalization and hardship. From its foundations it has known dark times, but it has also been given the privilege of experiencing God as strength and shield (Ps. 28:7).” The Black church is an imperfect institution in many ways, but for me it has served as a space of empowerment, inspiration, revolution, resistance, and resiliency. In particular, I love the freedom of the Spirit that has power and relevance for real life. I love the practice of music and worship. I am encouraged by the tradition of the testimony service, where we use our lives and experiences to encourage one another through stories of overcoming. 

Query: I now invite you to consider your own rituals and sacred spaces. What spiritual practices do you honor that bring healing to your spirit? How can our individual practices impact our communities?

Mindful Moment

By Hildegard of Bingen

“I am the one whose praise echoes on high.
I adorn all the earth.
I am the breeze that nurtures all things green.
I encourage blossoms to flourish with ripening fruits.
I am led by the spirit to feed the purest streams.
I am the rain coming from the dew
that causes the grasses to laugh with the joy of life.
I am the yearning for good.”

This meditation by Hildegard of Bingen brings together the natural and the supernatural, the creation and the creator, all into one divine existence marked by “the yearning for good.” The query: Where do I witness the divine? I invite us to not only look outward, but also to look inward in our search.

Mindful Moment: “Mother Earth’s Spring Dress”

Told by Edna Chekelelee

“And this time of year
      our Mother Earth has worked all winter long
      in making her dress,
      beautiful dress,
      but it’s green.
‘Bout the early spring she adds some flowers to it.
And whenever she gets ready
      she drops her skirt down the mountainside,
      you can see it across the mountain
      downhill,
      all her skirt is full
      with all the flowers-
      dogwood flowers, azaleas,
      and all kinds of flowers.
That’s our Mother’s skirt
      that she had worked on all winter long.
So rejoice in it
      and try to keep it clean-
      This is our Mother Earth that we walk on.”

This story, told by Cherokee storyteller, mother, and teacher Edna Chekelelee in Living Stories of the Cherokee (Edited by Barbara Duncan, a Professor of Cherokee at UNC Asheville), is a pleasure to read and dwell upon as we continue to push into spring. This story brings together the beauty and process of the emergence of spring with our environmental responsibility to keep the Earth clean – to keep our Mother Earth clean as we exist upon it. The query: How do I help to keep the Earth clean? What relationship do I have with the rest of the planet? What relationship do I have with the rest of humanity? Are these relationships connected?

Mindful Moment: “Walking Outside” by Thich Nhat Hanh

“When we open the door and go out into the fresh air, we can be immediately in touch with the air and the Earth and all the elements around us. When we walk, we know we’re not stepping on something inanimate. The ground we’re walking on is not inert matter. Understanding the Earth in this way, we can walk on the planet with as much respect and reverence as we would walk when in a house of worship or in any sacred space. We can bring our full awareness to each step. Steps like these have the power to save our lives.”

As we transition into spring, spending time outdoors becomes more accessible for more people. Doing something as simple as spending some time outside daily can have a positive impact on us; physically, mentally, spiritually. Many of us are separated physically from the communities we were/are part of prior to the pandemic. For some, it may be useful to approach the Earth itself as a sacred space. For me, it has been useful to recognize my existence as part of a larger, more complex ecosystem and community with the rest of the Earth – beyond just humanity or even what we consider to be “living” things. The query: What communities do you miss or have you been separated from? Can you approach the outdoors in a way to ease this pain? How can we move forward with a better understanding of the Earth and our relationship with it?

Mindful Moment: Speak for Yourself

These past 2 years has been one of the hardest times that our world has seen. Our lives have changed in ways we cannot explain. I want to give you a word of encouragement. What can we do now?

What will we do to change our circumstances now, (Sow your seed) so that when life is back to normal you can reap the benefit? (Galatians 6:7-9) What will we have to show for this time? What will we tell others about the time that the world stopped? 

Did you keep going? Did you write that book, or read all the books you want to read? Did you record that video on Youtube? Did you reorganize your home because clutter makes you unproductive? Did you do the small things everyday to make life worth living? When I speak to you, I speak to myself. I know you are tired, and ready to return to a normal life. What will we do now to stay grateful, productive and at peace? I know you are sad, but Speak for yourself… Speak for you when this is done. What will you have done for yourself, and others? If nothing yet, there’s always time. Always time to find our passions, and they are waiting to find us. I’ll share a song (link) that has really touched me in this difficult time. It reminds me that life is worth living and worth conquering and moving forward. (Romans 8:37). Make sure you rise like the day and rise unafraid. High like the waves, and in spite of the ache. And do it a thousand times again. (Isaiah 40:31)

Wild Geese

By Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair; yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.  

Query: How can we befriend the parts of ourselves we cannot change?

This Mindful Moment provided by Hannah Grace MacLean
