Nov 30 - Visio Divina

A woman in a red dress sits on a chair beside a vase of red flowers.

Sweep the whole painting and notice the shapes the colors, the lines, the details.
You might already be even looking for symbols.
You might also notice that your eye seems to be going in one particular area.
It might be a color, it might be a detail, just don't try to figure it out, just keep moving.

Notice what doesn't attract you, or that you skip over quickly, that maybe even doesn't seem important. Observe that, too. Maybe that's what you want to address, or what the Spirit wants to address in you today as well.
Slowly become aware of the place on the image that is for you today. It might be a color, a shape, a tiny detail.


Stay open and present to it. Just listen to what it wants to communicate to you about.
Open your imagination, there might be feelings coming up, a longing, a memory?
Y
ou might even be just curious, wondering what this woman is thinking about. Or is she thinking?

Is there hope that's stirring for you?

Maybe there's an invitation in this moment of your life, in the day-to-day life that you're living, what is God calling you to do or to be?

What are the insights that you've gained?
Is that invitation still growing in you?

Do another sweep and see if there's anything else that comes up.
