Speaking of Epiphanies…


“In the prophetic worldview, God supports falling forward, mistake-ridden risk-taking, and boundary crossing for the sake of growth in consciousness and relationship.” ~ Rabbi Nahum Ward-Lev (referenced HERE )

How many of us are willing to be mistake-ridden, risk-taking and boundary crossing?

While most of us don’t fancy ourselves as prophets, we might be wise to embody some of the characteristics listed above, including allowing ourselves to make a suitable number of mistakes. Speaking of “mistakes,” a nice perspective from a musical incident with Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock comes to mind (described effectively in less than 2 minutes by Herbie HERE.) 

On the heels of Epiphany, the CAC post HERE discusses a Liberating Path.

“If you see what does not yet exist, and you act according to what you see, you will likely be seen as a little crazy, out of center, a misfit or rebel. But if you stay true to what you see because the power of God is the light of your vision, then you will change the world because you yourself will be changed.” ~ Franciscan Sister Ilia Delio (referenced HERE )

How inspiring to think we might see with “the power of God is the light of your vision.”

POTENTIAL ACTIONS: is today a good day for activity providing impetus to “aha”s?

Who knows, some of those resulting “aha”s might even be risky, crazy, rebellious, off-center, …

May this day bring opportunities for “aha” moments, stirred by the Spirit!
