“Place your mind before the mirror of eternity"
Clare of Assisi
Our mind is only happy when it is occupying itself with something. In becoming occupied it believes it is being of service to us and fulfilling its role. This can be true when we are applying our rational or thinking abilities. Unfortunately, many things that catch the attention of the mind are not altogether the most healthy or savory for us. Sometimes, I think the mind is like a dog that gnaws on a bone. The dog keeps gnawing away even when there is no more meat to be had. Similarly, the mind will create all sorts of stories, even when there is no "meat", or validation to the story at all. This is especially so when we have emotional content to fuel the process.
Clare of Assisi understood the workings of the mind and its propensity to complicate and create false notions. She told us to place our mind before the mirror of eternity - or to bring it to a more accessible level - to place our mind before the consciousness of the Christ-mind. Adorn yourself, Clare said, with this radiance, both within and without.
When next we are being confronted with a "gnawing" mind, we might ask what does it mean to act with right-mindedness, to act with the Christ-mind? What does it mean to breathe into our expansiveness in that moment? So easily we fall into the smallness of self, and yet just as easily we may also fall into the expanded self - it takes but a moment. Do not judge the mind, do not judge yourself, hold your mind before the mirror of compassion and freely love it in its smallness and in its greatness. The mind too is on a journey - a journey into wholeness and peace.
Peace be with you

JOURNEYING INTO LOVE: ASSISI PILGRIMAGE & RETREAT
OCTOBER 26 - NOVEMBER 1, 2008
This pilgrimage will focus on the teachings and life of Clare of Assisi. It will also include teachings from my new book on Sacred Companionship. We will learn about Clare and Francis and their most beautiful and extraordinary relationship, which was based on the spirit of sacred love. We will learn how we can incorporate this same love into our daily living with our various companions, whether intimate, friends, or healing connections. We have many companions on this earth.
We have the great honor to gather and meditate in a very sacred space right in Assisi, which is dedicated to all the world religions and contemplation. We also have exclusive use of a converted monastery, where we will all be staying. It is also right in Assisi and has a lovely little terrace that looks out over the valley. Very picturesque in the misty mornings. I feel blessed that I can offer these places to you.
"Above all, be lovers of your souls." Clare of Assisi
