“A pear seed grows into a pear tree, and a hazelnut seed grows into a hazelnut tree and a seed of God grows into God. God does not ask anything else of you but to let yourself go and let God be God in you.” Meister Eckhart
I first heard this quote when leading a dances of universal peace dance titled A Seed of God Grows Into God. This morning I was inspired to work with the phrase (from the dance/song):’ A seed of god grows into god, let yourself go, let god be god in you’ as part of my contemplative prayer practice. On the inbreath – ‘a seed of god grows into god’ and on the outbreath ‘let yourself go, let god be god in you.’ Holding this phrase loosely with spaciousness to allow for listening.
As I was writing this post, I found a you tube video of the Dances of Universal Peace dance from a Lava Hot Springs dance retreat – and found myself in the middle of an experience – if you watch it (and I’d recommend you do), the guitar player is my soul brother Jon Jon who just died this past year with his 3-year old son in a car crash – I hadn’t seen this video until 5 minutes ago and it brought me to tears. A beautiful soul. The saxophone player is my former husband, Chalazon – we’re now great friends. Many of the dancers are friends as well.
Many blessings,
Jayne
