Second Gaze

So often in life we react to someone or something we have read or seen and our reaction isn’t “ the best “. 

I think we need space to reconsider or space to say “ on “ Second Thought….”

Richard Rohr, my Wisdom Teacher calls us to develop the practice of Second Gaze. This is call to a deeper, more wise response in life. Second Gaze is where contemplation and compassion come together. Here we see more fully and truthfully. We have had space to reconsider our position. Here we see life,  the other, and even God with eyes of compassion.  I will use this space seek for deeper reflection, wiser thought or second gaze  on my work and invite you along to reflect and share your thoughts and questions. I welcome you to respond - or not - and offer your own Second Gaze. 

Thanks for joining the conversation. I value your presence.
