83. Summer Meditation: The Wonder of an Onion, with Wes Willison

Earthkeepers: A Circlewood Podcast on Creation Care and Spirituality

In this special episode, we depart from the usual interview format and offer you some moments of guided meditation instead. While Forrest is in Ireland interviewing people for future episodes of the podcast, Wes Willison is stepping in to walk you through something called “The Onion Session." Drawn from the book The Supper of the Lamb, by Robert Farrar Capon, this is a guided meditation that is meant to focus our attention on one small and humble object. This soul-and-mind opening exercise helps us to perceive the wonder contained in an onion—and to appreciate it as one part of creation loved by God.

Just a note: You might want to wait to listen to this episode for when you’ve got some down time. For this meditation exercise you’ll need an onion, a small knife, a cutting board, and about half an hour of uninterrupted time in a quiet space.
