About Opening The Window: Sabbath Meditations

Why do we do what we do? What happens as a result? How do we make sense of, and find meaning in, our lives and in the world that contains us? How do we render wholeness out of brokenness, creating mosaics of beauty and functionality from the rent pieces of our lives? This collection of Sabbath meditations invites readers to inhabit the questions with intention and joy. With a pastor's sensibility, a writer's lyricism, and a generous heart, Leaf Seligman invokes poetry, thinking from diverse spiritual traditions, and stories from her own walk through life to grapple with enduring religious themes and contemporary challenges. It is the preacher's responsibility to be of use, to choose words with great care, and open the window so spirit can move in and out, she writes in her afterword. Indeed, these meditations the words themselves and their call to a more fully understood, more deeply felt life resonate long after the bookmark is tucked into place and the covers closed. Read them slowly and deliberately. Let them be your company as you journey through the Sabbath and into the week.Table of ContentsIntroductionKEEP KNOCKINGTruth on my LipsThe Virtue of DisappointmentReclaiming SinWhy Universalism Still MattersOf Shoes and the SacredLessons from HaitiFood DemocracyA Meditation on Memorial DayTHE JOY INSIDEThe Call to JoyWhat is Worth Pursuing?On Being FoundThe Days of AweRoses of GuadalupeCommunionUnder the TentOn Death and BeingCOME TO THE WINDOWHoly DisruptionTo Be of UseCultivating FaithWith New Eyes and EarsOf Advent and UncertaintyLittle BoxesAnother WayEvolution of IdeasLOOK TO SEE WHO IS THEREAn Act of the Recklessly Generous HeartBeyond Acceptance into WelcomeFreedom from ConstraintThe Burden of CainWhat is Next?Rising AgainThe Missing YearsWandering in t
