This is the story of The Noontimes.
A Wisdom Circle: A safe space where trust, authenticity and compassion invite the members of the circle to be open to change . . .
Days passed, and the readings continued to guide and console us. We were amazed. When my friend said she needed more time to reflect on the meaning of these readings, I began to record and save the ideas in an electronic faith journal so that the two of us could spend time discussing some of these messages; and even though the difficulties eventually eased, we continued to look for inspiration and wisdom daily at noon.
One day, another friend joined our conversation and asked to receive The Noontimes. She also experienced the same sensation of connection and support as she opened the daily email messages. Over time, The Noontime Circle expanded to a distribution list with an occasional email discussion. Eventually, a number of readers began to ask that we share these faith reflections in a broader way . . . so today we share ideas on this blog.
If you are a longtime reader of The Noontimes, I hope you are comfortable with this format. If you are new to this circle of friends, we welcome you to The Noontimes. If you are open to change and want to join us as in the search of wisdom from this safe place, please leave a comment here or on any of the posts.

I also love the pictures. Love that it is easy to catch up if I miss a few days in the blog format rather than scrolling through my email. Plus, it will be much easier to put into a book from the blog:)

Understanding change is perhaps the single most difficult task of human life. We always want our circumstances to be predictable . . . and I imagine that is because we believe we can control all the circumstances in our lives.

Hello,
You write well.
I am wondering: have you read any other spiritual/religious books except for the Bible? Personally I have read quite a lot of spiritual literature, but very little Christian.
Have you perhaps read C.S Lewis?

I read some of Josephus, Tacitus, Livy, Thomas Merton, Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Catherine of Siena, Julian of Norwich, Henri Nouwen, Elaine Pagels and many more. And yes, I have read C.S. Lewis. I have read parts of the Koran and scripture from other religions; and I have studied Eastern cultures but have not read much of their philosophers other than Yamaga Soko, Confucius and Lao Tzu. I have also read North American, European and Latin American literature. I teach Hispanic literature, and I love to explore how different peoples and cultures approach spirituality. I believe that most humans have a sense of the mystery that God is and that they have a longing for union with God. It is my hope that this blog helps readers to connect with other seekers and to also connect with the wisdom that dwells in each of us. Thanks for stopping by the Noontimes and for following. Your thoughts are much appreciated.
