Blessing, Belonging, and the Burning Heart Last Week in the Grove
When spirit stirs the wild ground, what new belonging might take root in you?
In the Seraphic Grove this week, we traced the hidden currents of blessing and the fierce wildness that makes a true sanctuary. We asked if every blessing is an angel’s touch and pondered the uprooting of what no longer serves in this season of sacred reckoning. Our paths circled the Gospel of the Oak: a vision of community as living, breathing invitation and lingered in the burning heart of devotion, where the courage to love becomes a quiet revolution. Amid a world swirling with unrest, we found again that the simplest acts of welcome, reflection, and courage open doorways to the sacred, reminding us that spirit is at work in every threshold we cross.
Who taught you the courage to welcome the stranger?
