Scintilla Animae … The Spark of the Soul, - Denise Durocher, Fabric Art

Scintilla Animae – Spark Of The Soul

That place inside of each one of us .. that space where we see through the looking glass and discover the essence of what is.

It might not be your own word for it, but I sometimes call it Anima-soul, other times Ruah-breath, other times Scintilla – spark.  But whatever its name, it is a dedicated space where we are invited to dwell and to listen.

So, this is the place I go to during our lead-ins and whenever I need to be attentive to what my body wants me to know.

And .. it isn’t necessary to even have a name for this place.
We know it intrinsically when we arrive don’t we?
