Summer 2015 Book Discussion
Parker Palmer—Let Your Life Speak
Chapter 6, There Is a
Season, as I began to read this chapter I was struck by several emotions
and life events. We had just experienced a turn of seasons from Spring to
Summer and as the heat and humidity often associated with Summer immediately
began to creep in I felt a change within myself; life began to slow down, vacations
and weekend getaways were booked and a relaxation crept over me. Imagine my
reaction when I read the description of each season and immediately understood
Palmer’s approach. I greatly appreciate being able to reflect on my personal
vocation story with the descriptions of each season, “the cycle of the seasons
reminds us that the journey never ends.” (Page 95)
As I finished reading this chapter
I couldn’t help but reflect on Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 or the song Turn! Turn! Turn! by the Byrds. Perhaps you too should take
a few minutes to read or listen and reflect too.
- What season speaks to your life now? Why?
- Do you take time to enjoy every season in your life? How?
