Opening up to possibilities

I feel thwarted at times with a life outside the mainstream; the way of the rebel by its very nature is that of outlier

This meditative piece is the result of sitting with the question 'Show me my ministry'

Opening up to possibilities

Rev Deb Connor/ Priest Xiao Yi 笑意 Member: Merseyside

Balance is not always symmetrical and flow has differing appearances of speed: DC, 2019 The Dao De Jing shares wisdom that resonates deeply with me on so many levels. My answer to the question, which book changed your life? remains that classic of the Way and Virtue. Those poetic verses spoke to me in a myriad of new ways as I closed my acupuncture clinic and began living in lockdown with my husband (a key worker) and our adopted elderly dog. With thoughts of opening up to different possibilities, of new ways of being, I asked myself, what did I bring into quarantine that I want to leave there? What thoughts, patterns and behaviours no longer serve me?
