The Rev. Dr. Elisabeth R. Jones is leading us in the final homecoming of Lama Rod Owens. She suggests we take some time before this meeting, to think about, reflect upon, even journal, “all the parts of ourself,” especially noticing the things we may wish weren’t there. This practice of lingering with love even on the “ugly bits” of ourselves can be very healing. In her own practice, she often uses a line from Psalm 51:6 as a meditation mantra:
The Holy desires truth in my most hidden places;
therefore teach me wisdom in my most secret space.
Rev E. will also share a couple of other resources for deepening this valuable practice. She hopes we can end our time with some of our general reflections upon the seven months of exploring the Seven Homecomings.
