I spent a lovely morning at a workshop led by Brother Geoffrey Tristram from the Society of Saint John the Evangelist, the Episcopal monastery in Cambridge. Geoffrey shared with us a meditation he uses to center himself at the end of the day:
Imagine that your soul is a bowl full of water. As you've traveled through the day, the water has been stirred up. It's moved back and forth as you've been pushed and pulled in different directions. Maybe some has spilled out in anger or sorrow. Let the water stop its churning. Let the ripples become smaller and smaller, until they come to rest. Let the water be still.
Now your soul is a smooth surface, ready to reflect the true image of God.
