Name: Open Heart
Duration: P00H02M25S
Description: Cynthia Bourgeault writes about knowing God from the "inside" by "putting on the mind of Christ". She points to a contemplative experiencing and opening to a "heart perception" of God. In part, this has been my inspiration for writing this chant. As you sing, imagine opening your heart with hospitality toward God, who already abides there.
