CapeConversation

On Sunday 27 July 2008 Bev lead our group.

She began the morning’s event with an absorbing short film titled “Are you the favourite person of anyone?” A quirky but interesting inward questioning glance at a real honest question. We then spent a few minutes in contemplation around this question and considered at first who is our favourite person, friend pet, sibling, colleague, family member etc…  We then gave some thought about being someones favourite person.

After a time of reflection a stunning rendering of combination of Jesus’s prayers were read out to the group in a prose style. Jesus believed in the power of prayer and said “Ask and you will receive”. The words were based on the prayers of Jesus found in  John 14 and 17.

After listening to the words of Jesus that were layered with desire and promises, a tray of fortune cookies ( hand-made by Bev!! ) was passed around and each person took a delicate cookie. We started to break up and eat the cookies. Inside each cookies we each found a small strip of paper with a promise of God printed on it. The promises were short quotations from the bible.

We then entered into a prayerful meditation that was titled a “Heart Meditation”. We focus inwardly on our hearts and allowed a sense of love energy to grow and then with Bev’s guidance though the meditation we were lead to focus this love into the centre of the group. We then thought of a loved one and “sent” this combined love to this person.

Continuing in meditation we then listened to two pieces of music. Eva Cassidy singing Songbird and Kelly Green singing Holy is the Lord. We remained for a while focused on God’s love our love for each other and the morning’s sublime grace melted into tea, coffee and muffins.
