Water from Stone
|
| J David Bamberger’s story begins like that of many self-made millionaires. He worked long hours, selling vacuum cleaners door to door, until he made enough money to co-found Church’s Chicken, which made him a wealthy man. It is what he did next that set him apart. Inspired by the Amish in his home state of Ohio, Bamberger held the earth in reverence. In 1959 this passion led him to seek out a parcel of land that was in bad shape, somewhere that was dried out, over grazed, and desolate. He found that place and named it Selah, a word from the book of Psalms that reminds us to take time to stop and reflect on the beauty around us. |

Thoughts don’t come from “within”; neither do they come from “without.” They emerge “between.”

Why Shadows Were Invented
In ‘From These Wilds Beyond Our Fences,’ Bayo Akomolafe points out that when Seventeenth-century physicist Francesco Grimaldi directed a focused ray of sunlight in a dark room, managing the ray so that it struck a thin rod and produced a shadow on a screen, he proved that light behaves in unexpected ways. In fact, light is only one side of a whole,like yin and yang. Thus “darkness is not the absence of light — it is the very dance of light…Light and dark are not opposites or estranged cosmic forces that one side must defeatfor there are no “sides.”” { read more }
Be The Change
Psychiatrist C. G. Jung advised us to become familiar with our own shadow, the parts of us that we deny or whose influence over us we are unaware of. See if you can uncover some darkness in you that, when acknowledged, could allow you to become more whole, more wholly yourself. |
