I woke up thinking that my material world appears to be less than wonderful, what with people losses and health drains. I took comfort in the thought that for this I seek still more spiritual growth...I am utterly at peace knowing the mirror image of God reflects my life exactly as it need be in this instant. I pray my thank you.
Then I turned on the weather report. It is May 31, we are back-to-face of June 1, and still we're having a preponderance of gray days, chill and rain. I love that that's what ticks me off most...that which clearly is not mine, can never be mine, and I get all up in my head about it.
That immediately leads to my own personal slippery slope: That which is clearly not mine reminds me of old wo/men laying down the law for young women and what they should do with their bodies. While young men do what they do because "boys will be boys." As Gloria Steinem, a very smart woman, once said, "If men birthed babies, abortion would be a sacrament." Tell me that's not true.
There it is...spelled out before my own eyes. I can write I am utterly at peace knowing the mirror image of God reflects my life exactly as it need be in this instant. I pray my thank you. Then, in a heartbeat, I'm ranting about one more thing that I will never experience so I make free with my heavy-duty opinions.
Well, I just figure we are the only fun-figures God gets to love and laugh about. Dogs and deer...crocodiles and kangaroo, for Heaven's sake...surely are better behaved.
Thank you.
