I previously mentioned that Aoradh are in the process of using an e-mailed daily mediation as a means of sharing a deliberate spiritual practice. We have a rota to take a week at a time for a six week trial period.

If you would like to receive the e-mail, then let me know.

I took the first week, and it came to me again how much a reason to create can become in itself creative. And how it can become a source of blessing in the actual creating…

Here are the first three days- a meditation on Psalm 139-

¹ You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.

Yet still I hide

Still I believe that my hard disc is encrypted and password protected

Even from your

Benign virus
² You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

The road is long

And this day is full of demands

Let me rest too

On your soft grass verge

⁴ Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.

So let my words be fat with grace

And my vowels be round with kindness

Let me make you smile

When I see you in others
⁵ You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.

For I am frayed at the edges

Like an old coat

Shaped and scraped by warm work

And I would be conformed

Around you

⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

You are not alienated by my unbelief

Or driven away by my failure

You inhabit my hopes

And dance at the very centre of all that I dream of
