  1. “Create in me a clean heart, O God, & put a new & right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10

    This is the first bit of Scripture I’ve encountered in #ContemplativeKnitting & it both condemns & challenges me. I sat with it as I #knit (my #WIP is a #TaffyShawl ) most of the day & it still makes me uncomfortable. I found it hard to focus on the words & my mind kept wandering.

    I tend to cling to things way past the point of usefulness. My heart & mind are bound up in the habits & patterns of the past, most of which no longer serve me. A clean heart would mean letting them go, & also releasing those who taught them to me. It’s scary.

    Being in the process of starting a new business, I find myself caught up in wanting to do things “right”. It’s a common issue for me that often becomes an excuse for not doing anything or giving up. I’m so afraid of making a mistake. What I need to do is trust that God will help me fly.

  2. Your #dailybach today:
    Tilge, Höchster, meine Sünden, BWV 1083 Nancy Argenta, Diego Fasolis, Guillemette Laurens, I Barocchisti

    Pergolesi was born #otd 4 Jan 1710. Bach being a serial borrower, took his famous "Stabat Mater" and rearranged it adding a beautiful viola part. With that velvety richness the piece gained a new depth and impact.
