April Reflection
It’s Spring
Jane Anne Ferguson
SDCO Guiding Circle Member
It’s spring. I usually rejoice without hesitation as the blooms begin. This year everything is blooming way too early. It is odd and a bit scary for the lilac bush outside my window to already be shining with bright green leaves and tender light purple, lilac, blossoms. It was only the first week of April. It makes me nervous because we did not have the usual winter struggle. Irrationally, I am still waiting for it. Yet the red bud and flowering pear trees have been bringing joy for two or more weeks now. The seasons seem out of kilter here in northern Colorado.
I find myself asking “Is it okay to find joy in this earlier than usual spring? Can we trust it? Have faith in it? Is this solid spiritual practice?” Silly questions! However, rejoicing in this early spring has reinforced my sense that the world feels SO tentative now, to put it nicely. The world feels fragile, not just in an off-kilter way, but a stormy, tumultuous way, really uncertain.. [More]
What Does Spirituality Mean to Us?
Spirituality has to do with the spirit as in the essence of being human – your soul or your inner life. It is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things. Spirituality can be about a journey of transforming our spiritual, psychological and somatic aspects of ourselves to become more our true selves, who are created in the image of God. Click Here

Finding a Spiritual Director
The Spiritual Director journeys with you as you deepen your relationship with God. The journey takes place in the context of a confidential session with your Spiritual Director. The person coming for Spiritual Direction is trying to be serious about some form of intentional prayer and reflection on God's presence in everyday life. The Director is a facilitator, with God, Spirit, or Higher Power being the true Director.
Spiritual Direction Colorado is pleased to provide a list of Spiritual Directors as a resource to people throughout the state of Colorado and beyond.
