"Shedding for Transformation," by Mark Pratt-Russum

West Hills Friends

Mark Pratt-Russum reads the story in Exodus about Moses approaching the burning bush. Mark offered a different perspective about Moses removing his sandals. Perhaps it was recognizing the need to shed something for this transformative moment. When you consider the growing moments of your life, how did shedding play a part in becoming who you are now? Do you remember what it was like to be in that process, how did it feel in the moment? How do you look back on those times now? Have you experienced "shedding your sandals" as you approached the Divine, not necessarily as a sign of honor or respect, but as an acknowledgement of stepping into the Holy ground of creativity and change?
