Kind of intense day spiritually. The Contemplative Eucharist had unusually deep silences. As usual with meditation and contemplative practice the key is to observe without judging, so my observation is simply that the silences felt deeper and more peaceful even than usual. I wonder whether the fact that this group is settling into a way of being together on Wednesday mornings is a factor. That is, the novelty is wearing off and the real work of sitting has begun.
Then there was an intense pastoral care session with a person experiencing acute grief. I'm pretty experienced helping people process grief, but it doesn't make it any easier on my end, since in order to do that work it is necessary to go to the grief place oneself.
And now it's only time for lunch! Wow.
