A gift was given to me this past Sunday evening. I attended “an experiential presentation of insights and practices open heart and mind from the traditions of Sufism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism" by Imam Jamal Raman, who is co-founder and Muslim Sufi Minister at Interfaith Community Sanctuary in Seattle.
It was refreshing how Jamal spoke about God and Jesus. The words he used, such as, seek, pray, understanding, acceptance, compassion, gratitude, water, love… led me through the Bible - especially the Gospel of Matthew, beginning with 7:7: “Ask and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock and it shall be opened unto you.” (King James Version)
I periodically focused on this window as Jamal shared his story through spiritual practices, and remember a parable is a story with a lesson. I visualized the window open. The closed window symbolized the lessons I learned last year, and the open window was one of letting go on the things I refuse to carry from 2015.
What have you learned from your story? What can you let go to make your journey lighter?
Let it go. Share love. Give gratitude.
