Saturdan morningin Cochabamba


Dear Jonrey,

I suppose you are getting ready to go to bed now and probably ired after your classes in nursing.
This view of the sunrise is from my bedroom window. The sun rises over the Andes mountains in the background and the water tower that is on our property here. It is Winter but sunshine everyday.
I am listening to music from Boston on I tunes www.wcrb.com.
It is a classical music station with 24 hours of music.
Here is a reflection for you this weekend.

My Journey to Wisdom
by Joyce Rupp on Jul. 09, 2010

Once upon a timea child of happiness danced upon the land,knew friendship with the earthand celebrated lifewith her love of solitude and simple things.
Jacetan-DreamstimeShe grew into a young woman,whose vision of self was clouded,clothed with the complexities of insecurityand the necessity of leaving the hallowed wombof the quiet earth.
She walked into cities of strangers,straining her inner eye to catchthe slightest hint of the beautythat had energized her younger dayswhen she played upon the earth.
Days stretched into monthsand then years went by.She slowly changed by going deeper,deeper, into her Center.Never understanding why the desireto go deeper was therebut always knowing there was no other choicethan to follow at all costs.Darkness often loomed up largeagainst her searching journey.Risk and Truth became her companions.
She met Compassionand then Wisdom came to greet her.So close, at times, were these companionsthat she wept for their intensityand her unworthiness.Still, they walked with her,and everywhere she went,her companions reached outand blessed the people of her life.
She could only kneel in gratitude,offering her heart of praiseto the Divine Companionwho had faithfully kept the kindling of loveburning in her heart.
Thoughts from the Author
I share my discovered wisdoms with you in order to encourage you on your own inner way and to spark the recognition of your wisdoms that are waiting to be welcomed by you…. My hope is that you will gather the gift of time and take the journey to the inner world where Sophia (Wisdom) waits for you.
