Making decisions (inherently sacred)

Once again I am going through some very unhappy times with my family. In reaching out to art, philosophy and spirituality for some comfort, I came across a book called Decision Making and Spiritual Discernment, by Nancy Bieber.

Nancy Bieber is a Quaker and a very interesting lady. I've found comfort and nourishment in reading just the few pages at her website.

I've also ordered her book. Here are two sentences from its early pages:

Making decisions is inherently sacred work, even when we don't recognize it as such. Through our decisions, we shape our unique and sacred lives."

To me, those two sentences are truly beautiful.

Thank you for passing along these thoughts about the sacred nature of making decisions, Keara. Beautiful words. I've been making some long delayed decisions lately. Good to know that you continue to find comfort and nourishment in the things that are beautiful. It is beautiful that you share what you find.

am, I hope you'll tell us all about your decisions and whatever process you find leads to them (as much, in any case, as you are comfortable with). I feel somehow that you hew closely to a true, and therefore sacred, way of finding your path. Thank you, as always, for your encouragement. You remind of Gerard Manley Hopkins' prayer - "Send my roots rain." Such support is truly rain. :-)
