A Series of Longing from the Song of Songs
Welcome to Sacred Love.
A month of longing.
A month of poetry.
A month of receiving real, sacred love.
Throughout this series, we will explore the longing that rises from the Song of Songs:
the longing to be seen,
to be held,
to be delighted in,
to belong.
This is an invitation to slow down.
To breathe.
To cherish the beauty of intimacy — emotional, spiritual, and physical.
And to honor the desire God placed within us for connection that is tender, virtuous, and deeply human.
I welcome the beauty of sacred love.
February invites us pause and reflect on love—
Not the commercial love of Valentine’s Day.
But the love that is felt before it is understood.
A love that stirs.
A love that is found in the sacred space within each one of us.
Song of Songs is a book of longing—
the longing to connect to another human soul.
One that is designed by God.
Blessed by God.
And breathed into our very being.
Yet it is only experienced when we invite God into it.
Take me away with you—let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers.
—Song of Solomon 1:4
May your heart and eyes open to sacred love.
May you see and feel this love reaching for you more and more each day. Amen.
