We were led by Sergio into a reflection on power. Specifically, we considered what we understood it to be, this included wealth, freedom, influence, eloquence, strength, good looks, manipulation, and all the manifestations of outer success.
Then we considered &#8220;inner&#8221; power, and listed things like dignity, love, authority, non-resistance or passive resistance. We spoke [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=soundandsilence.wordpress.com&blog=519286&post=716&subd=soundandsilence&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We introduced the idea of wildness, presenting it not a negative and destructive force, but as the path to wisdom. The scriptures and the prophets have been read through the eye of civilisation, but on deeper examination are &#8220;a wild bunch&#8221; (Rohr p 3).
