What this blog is all about...

An expedition into connecting with the ground of all being.
Noshemet means 'I breathe' in Hebrew. It is my hope that this blog will help me this year to experiment with ways of being connected with God. I also hope that others will join me in this expedition...

Breathe

The word 'connecting' can be used in a range of ways.
It can be very superficial: "I've made some good connections for work."
Or very deep: "We had a real connection."

Rob Bell, in his short film 'Breathe' talks about how the name Yahweh sounds a lot like breathing.
The ground of our being is as close to us as our breath.
If that's true, isn't it easy to connect with God? As easy as taking a breath?

But it isn't. Or is it?

This blog is a bit of a personal experiment in this area.
This year I'm going to try to notice and discover what helps me to connect with God.

Maybe others will come up with some good ideas too?

The picture above was taken on the way to see friends near Salisbury on New Year's Day. It was taken in the car, but we did get out in the fresh air later. The colours, the quiet, the pie, the breeze, the mud, the 'Heston's Christmas cake' all did me the world of good in my spirit. Good start to the new year.
