Under the direction of the composer and our director, Dr. Chase, we all worked together to formulate the emotional story of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting though music.came to us around November of 2017 as a draft. It is creation in the purest sense.
From my limited experience, it's in the silence that I nourish my relationship with God. They have welcomed me with open arms and deep hospitality. I loved Laird's poetic writing style and the images he used to describe our lives. a thoroughly practical guide to contemplation.most helpful book I've ever read. Indeed, this book deserves at least some credit in that it spurred me to write about the subject of biblical contemplation and meditation, which is something far different than the author makes it out to be. But this book is not a mere historical survey of these teachings.
This is a small book but it packs a punch. Magnolia Star - Steve Danyew. A wave doesn’t look for the ocean; it’s already full of ocean.
To the extent that you believe these labels, you believe a lie, and you add anguish upon anguish. We have defined ourselves seperately from God using false scripts (Laird calls them videos) that we use to comment on our experience. The perspectives offered here constantly encouraged and convicted me so much. Our separation from God is a learned helplessness that contemplation can help to address.
We have defined ourselves seperately from God using false scripts (Laird calls them videos) that we use to comment on our experience. Don't chase distractions or work mentally at reinforcing your mind like a fortress of solitude. In the divinizing humanity of Christ, bruises become balm.”.“This is why most people do not stick with a contemplative discipline for very long; we have heard all sorts of talk about contemplation delivering inner peace but when we turn within to seek this peace, we meet inner chaos instead of peace.

Because you don’t know that who you are is one with God, you believe all these labels about yourself: I’m a sinner, I’m a saint, I’m a wretch, I’m a worm and no man, I’m a monk, I’m a nurse. I am sure that many of these suggestions would be considered useful to students willing to put in the practice, and Laird draws on the rich history of the Catholic tradition (especially focusing on the Wisdom of the Desert Fathers), but prayer is often so personal (intimate union between creator and created), that sometimes the best we can come away with from a book like this is that contemplative prayer is possible, yet still a mystery.
This book is about cultivating the skills necessary for this subtlest, simplest, and most searching of the spiritual arts. Its not quite so specific, which is why I think it lends itself really well to us for this season. And why the "Christian" contemplation discussed here is so different from the biblical one.As someone who reads a great deal about the issue of contemplation and meditation, I have to say that this is the sort of book that I view as important even if it is one that I deeply disagree with. I feel like franny, nothing will be the same.The book begins: “We are built for contemplation.
He has an amazing approach to the ancient contemplative practice of contemplative prayer. For all that this book is (and it is very useful), I am still reminded of St. Paul's words to the Romans, "We do not know what [how] we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans." His writing is like sitting under the tutelage of a wise teacher, who offers instruction and exposes us to the timeless masters, yet who also holds our hand as we continue into the vast, bottomless darkness where we find our footing in God's care.One of the best books on prayer I've ever read - I often find them unreadable, actually. No final answers here, indeed it is in acknowledging our unknowing that we are able to go deeper into God in "complete incomprehension." Plummet* - Jason Nippert (premiere performance) The Rumor of a Secret King* - John Mackey. Luminescence - David Biedenbender.
I am very excited to be a part of another meditation community. For the rest of us, I'd say the book blurbs are well-chosen and accurately describe the book. When the script landed on our stands, we were each given a unique key to unlock the moving story that only all of us working together could. Steve Danyew was a student at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Into the Silent Land was recommended to me by a colleague, and after reading it I could see why.
He uses a lot of sources, from ancient to contemporary, and writes in a very accessible way.
Definitely a book I will add to my "read once a year" list.a fabulous treasure. A branch doesn’t seek the vine; it’s already part of the vine. “It’s a powerfully emotional piece of music.
If you struggle with who God is and who you are, feel separate from God, from other people and creation, this guide may help reground you; that is if you are willing to hone the practice of stillness. Prayer does not need to be words, prayers, lines of thought. I'll take the third option. When we look back on this kind of life however, we often come to realize that it is the Spirit at work in us helping us to truly live this life of prayer. Witnessing the inception of this music was quite special because of what it meant to the composer and to us.became a work that all of us were invested in and passionate about because of what the piece signifies in our lives as human beings.This piece is more than Mr. Danyew’s story at Sandy Hook, though. I liked alot of what he said about silence, the importance of posture, and the attachment we have to the "idea" of ourselves and the trivial things we base our identity on (though this didn't go as in depth as I was hoping for).
