Today I live in gratitude. I live in gratitude that I know my world is exactly as it should be...as it needs to be right this very minute. I know this for me, for my friends, for those I love and those I'm trying to love. I know this even...especially...when appearances do not testify to this.
I'm reminded of my blinding flash of the obvious that our world is a mirror vision...it is as if we look at the world through a mirror. We get exactly in reverse of what God envisions.
It was immediately after I had that BFO that I read Fr. Richard Rohr on St. Paul: "...everything shows itself for him to also be a
disguise: weakness is really strength, wisdom is really foolishness, death is
really life, matter is really spirit, religion is often slavery, and sin itself
is actually the trapdoor into salvation."
Here's me, barely knowing who St. Paul is...and I'm being generous to myself there...yet loving that I had my realization of God's world as a mirror vision right before I read about St. Paul's because him I can truly trust. I mean, if you can't trust a saint....
God and grace are always available...our trouble is we believe our ears, our eyes, those least reliable of witnesses, over that still small voice within.
Thank you.
