Climb Up to the Light

By Beth Griffith,
Selah Companion

The Light beckons,
The Way is daunting,
“Come to Me”

I take the first step,
The Light exposes the ice,
“Come to Me”

A second step,
Will I slip?
“Come to Me”

A third step,
It seems so steep,
“Come to Me”

A fourth step,
The Light warms my face,
“Come to Me”

A fifth step,
My heart beats faster,
“Come to Me”

I step again,
The Warm Sun invites me forward,
“Come to Me”

Another step,
My legs begin to burn,
“Come to Me”

One step more,
Wonder stirs,
“Come to Me”

Stepping,
Love pours out,
“Come to Me”

Stepping again,
Light has come,
“Come to Me”

Listening into Lent 

A Quiet Day of Preparation for the Season


THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2023, 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM ON ZOOM FREE

Lent means “Spring” and, at the same time, was intended to draw our attention to forty days in the desert. Leaning into these contrasting images, may Lent be a season for (re)awakening for us. Whether it is found in anticipation of the budding life of spring or exposure to the wide open and barren spaces of the desert, let us intentionally approach this season with a quiet space and prayerful hearts in anticipation of new awakenings.

Let us take this day to sit before the Holy One in quietness and rest. Whether in centering prayer or journaling or any combination of spiritual practices, the time spent with God is intended to center our hearts for the season.
