I asked the Holy Spirit in me for an answer to a supposed problem and the HS has answered me through you. A friend I love has been trying to start a regular threesome luncheon with a woman I dislike. I've been trying to think how to get out of this gracefully, and asked the HS how to. Now I want to give this a try, instead: "I would see you as my friend, that I may remember you are part of me and thus come to know myself." I see that what I need to "get out of" is my gap of love. Thank you for cawing at us this morning, Sean. I'll report back. : )
Awesome Sean - the Irish believed in "thin spots" in the material world which were the link to the eternal realm. Yes there are portals every where and at every moment for those who ask and believe they have the eyes to see. ACIM really emphasizes our agency concerning the world we see. It does seem a wake up call is necessary (a bottom) to break us out of delusion and programming. Jesus told he became human so we could have an abundant life. As much as when I am restored to sanity I choose to believe Him.
This little light is what I need these days. And now I know where to look for it and I know what I will give attention to after those micro-moments; especially on the days that seems to be extra dark. Thank you, Sean, for including me to receive the thought that you and our brothers will hold for me today and thank you for also including me in holding one for you and for all our brothers.
I read this the day you wrote it, but didn't have the time to respond. Now I've read it again - and it is still as honest as it is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. <3
There is something about interactions with Birds and wildlife that tempts the senses beyond the physical meeting into further potentials of meaning. Like repeatedly coming across that Blackbird with one pure white tail feather when out walking the dog (there's another one with two little tiny white blobs on each side of her body that sometimes comes out of the bushes to say hello too). Or that night a Barn Owl flew out of nowhere in front of my car, briefly led the way, illuminated by my headlights before going on its way. Or perhaps that perfect flying v of honking geese that flew directly above my head as I walked out of my door the other week.
Perhaps there is a message somewhere in these things? I quite enjoy doing a little casual digging into the significance or deeper meaning of coming across certain animals. But maybe the message is simply to bathe in the moment and feel some bliss which seems to come as a result of the experience but might just be an insight into something a little closer to home.
Thanks again, Sean, for sharing your experiences and insights. This whole piece spoke to me, especially the affinity for birds and their songs. I'm not familiar with Deborah Dana's work (yet), but I've studied and practiced a somatic form of therapy and so I get "the glimmers." I'm so glad those crows sang to you that day and helped keep you here, and that you in turn are "singing" to us. All the best to you.
This was so timely. I have been noticing small moments and feeling the energy of the moment that feels so sweet. I concluded this awareness was me feeling safe enough to feel joy and love. I did not know "glimmer" was the term for it. Thank you for your vulnerability and wisdom, written so easily understood!
I walk on the levee in the morning to be in the presence of the river, the birds and their songs, the trees and all the wild plants. This morning I realized that the trees awakened in me a profound calm connection that I now realize was a glimmer. I actually had tears of joy and asked the HS to help me spread that joy from the ordinary to all I encounter today. We are so fortunate...thank you Sean for the deep insight.

Damn, you’re good at this.

The glimmer that passeth understanding….

Glimmers. . .a gentle yet resounding yes. Even the word feels shiny and joyful. Thank you.

Oh yes Sean the Glimmers! Hallelujah for the glimmers I love them and you Sean. Thank you for being there. X

Fantastic writing, thanks for sharing. I am also in love with the birds.

Sean ... thanks for helping me re-center this day. I think I shall look for glimmers and then the miracle behind them.
