May 30, 2021 – Presence
Rev. Kristin Powell explores the transformative power of living in the present moment through the parable of a young woman encountering a lion on her path - a metaphor for the unexpected events that shake us awake from our sleepwalking through life. Drawing on wisdom from Eckhart Tolle, Thich Nhat Hanh, Rumi, and Pema Chodron, Rev. Kristin Powell offers practical tools like conscious breathing, observing nature, and simple affirmations to help us access the divine presence that is always available right now. She reminds us that when we drop into the now, anxiety melts away, problems dissolve, and we rediscover the childlike wonder found in life's simplest gifts - to touch, to taste, to laugh, and to love.
