THE WILLINGNESS TO TRY

We look for God 'out there' and the Spirit is always ‘in here’ and ‘in between’ everything. Now even science is revealing to us that the energy of the universe is not in the particles or planets—but in the relational space between them! 
– from a recent daily meditation of Fr. Richard Rohr

Eckhart Tolle, in his book “The Power of Now,” wrote of the power of pondering on the space between words, using whatever spiritual tract we choose for our meditation. I read the words, I got no connection.

When I read the above quote of Fr. Rohr recently, I started doing the space-between meditation with the 23rd Psalm, my chosen spiritual tract.

I am doing it…very imperfectly, but I am doing it.

My blinding flash of the obvious this morning: However I do it is pleasing to my Lord because it is proof of my willingness to try…like a child with alphabet blocks getting them in a bass-ackward row and proudly showing her Father…who beams in approval at her effort.

Thank You.
