GOD, THE ROOT OF ALL THINGS

I went to the root of things, and found nothing but Him alone. -- Mira Bai (as quoted in my Eknath Eswaran daily reader today)

I have no idea who Mira Bai is, but her (his?) quote affirms my belief that God's hand is in it...whatever, wherever, however, whomever...God's hand is in it.

It is in going to "the root of things," continuing to dig deep within and deeper still, that we find "Him alone."

This is the way out of the ego's snare of resentment, the rocky road we must be open to take away from our ego/reasoning mind's blame-to-shame game. The ego's way is ever up, up to the head where our reasoning mind sits, just waiting to justify and/or deny. We must needs go ever deeper till we find God alone, the root.

This is my comfort today...my once again proof that God is living my life, and he can and will remind me as needed. I got disturbing (to my ego) news yesterday...30 years old news. My ego is no respecter of age...I felt like "it" had happened yesterday.

I awoke this morning with it nattering to me, and I reminded myself that God's hand has got to be in this. Then I sat down to my quiet time, and there in my first reading is God, affirming my truth.

God is so good to me.

Thank you.
