Undivided Kindness – Assignment #1

Images of Integrity

“A ‘still, small voice’ speaks the truth about me, my work, or the world.”

Reading: Read the Prelude and Chapter One. Please read slowly, putting the book aside when you find your mind wanting to consider something further or when you find yourself connecting something Parker has written to a situation or story from your life. Pay attention to these. Write them down, or take notes in the book. Do you best to stay mindful in your reading, treating this book as you would a treasured friend with whom you are having a significant conversation.

Kind Action: The intention this week is to do something kind for yourself, but the idea is to choose an action that helps you honor that “still, small voice” inside of you. This is something that helps you feel whole, an action that allows the numerator and denominator of your life to come into alignment.

Wholeness Journal: Pick up a small notebook that you can carry with you fairly easily. Make a note in it each time you experience something that causes you to feel more fully yourself, summarizing for yourself what this thing is. It could be an action (like making your bed), eating a specific food, talking to a particular person, etc.
