Memories of a Teacher

August 29, 2022 Sharon Jacobson

Memories of a Teacher

“Write about bridges.”
This was one of those powerful
life changing messages
given to me by the late
Rev Dr James Evans.
My heart still trembles
as I type his name.
He was the one who made me
fall in love with theology.
He told me to find myself
and my way of interpreting scripture
that built bridges.
He challenged me to read scripture
for the stories of bridge builders.
The people who were not one tribe or the other,
the people who told stories about building bridges, and
the people who knew about the vertical
and the horizontal beams of the cross.
He encouraged me to be a liberator,
one who both taught about how the perfect form of slavery
was not even realizing you were enslaved
and a liberator from those
invisible shackles which enslaved.
He taught me to own my Sophia
and created spaces for me,
a humble m.div student
to teach d. min students
in a course on activism and advocacy.
I know I am not the only one he liberated.
He did more than write about
black liberation theology,
he created keys
which unlocked so many of our gifts.
I know he unlocked many of mine.

Just a Piece

November 9, 2021 Sharon Jacobson

Just A Piece

Each day, we are given the opportunity
to build bridges that connect us
or walls that separate us.
We can think about life in a way
that makes the world smaller
or larger.
We can see ourselves as the puzzle
or a piece of the puzzle.
When we strive to control,
we fail to see the wonder and mystery of life.
When we remember
we are just a piece of the puzzle,
we can marvel at how
all the pieces come together
to create and form something
which enables us to celebrate
the mystery and the wonder
of which we are a part.

100% our donations go to support our ability to provide low and no cost offerings to those seeking to grow and evolve spiritually.

Silence is a Bridge

April 10, 2017 Sharon Jacobson

At Love & Inspiration yesterday morning, I commented about how silence is a bridge, not a barrier. Silence becomes the bridge through which we traverse the abyss to the Divine who dwells in the deepest of our internal sanctuaries. It is the noise which are the barriers, which distract us and prevent us from making spaces and places for silence.

When create spaces of silence, we create a space for us to be ourselves and to journey to the inner sanctuaries within us where the Divine dwells. Being intentional about creating space in our lives for silence, is like honoring the Sabbath. It is radical and counter-cultural. It is about us creating margins in our life where we can just sit and be.
