Rev. Warren Lynn: Balancing Journey & Home-making

Rev. Warren Lynn is a good friend of mine from the “labyrinth world.” We sat together on the Veriditas Council and have attended and worked together at several workshops. I don’t know how he does it, but eloquent thoughts, prayers, essays just spill out of his mouth. It is a true gift of Spirit! I asked him to share an article he wrote about Sacred Balance of the Home-making (feminine) and Journey (masculine). I had never thought of the process like he proposes it before I read this article.

Warren wrote this as an introduction into his ideas….

“It is really about the balance of traditional masculine and feminine identity. For me, I think the balance between the two really comes in to play when we consider how we integrate the two; how we “make a home”(feminine) in each step, each breath, along the way (masculine).  And, does the home we make facilitate appropriate hospitable care for others who are also on the path? For the sacred feminist, I think balance is the key, — or the place to which we all journey will simply end up being a wilderness of dry bones and death.” Click here for the article.

You can find the whole article, “Balancing journey & home-making” on his website, The Well Fed Spirit. He has hundreds of ideas and resources in his site that he graciously offers for free. I highly encourage a visit.
