Soul Deep in The Invitation: A New Beginning

<p>Before this podcast ever existed, Elizabeth had a little blog called <em>Life and Random Thoughts by Ely Acosta</em> , and the very first thing she ever published was this poem: <em>The Invitation</em> by Oriah Mountain Dreamer.</p><p>Though that blog is long gone, this poem has never left her. It’s grown with her, challenged her, and called her back to herself again and again.</p><p><br></p><p>Today marks the beginning of a new series where she will be diving deep into different sections of <em>The Invitation</em>, not in order, but in alignment. Each week, she will reflect on a part of the poem, invite others to share what it stirs in them, and close each episode with a meditation written by the author herself, shared with her full permission.</p><p><br></p><p>In this first episode, Elizabeth will read the poem in its entirety and begin this long-awaited journey back to what first moved her.</p><p><br></p><p>You are officially invited, let’s begin.</p><p><br></p><p>By Oriah “Mountain Dreamer” House from her book, THE INVITATION © 1999.
