Distilling The Sacred
Distilling. I love this word. It hit my core in Earth fashion. Meaning, it resonated with the Earth portion of my personality. But it also went deeper too.
It reminded me of my deconstruction journey in some ways nearly thirty years ago. I was walking a tightrope in the denomination that I was ordained in and felt like I could no longer walk it. I didn’t know at the time that the word “deconstruction” would ultimately find its way into our vocabulary to have the meaning it has today in regards to faith and spirituality. I am grateful for the process of deconstruction, distilling, and dancing. All three forms are about release, restoration, and transformation. The energy and the chemical reaction alone is almost enough in itself to create some sort of combustion. But the dance, oh the dance, in the moving and swaying of spirit, is where wisdom lives and breathes life into our souls again and again.
