COMPREHENDING THE NATURE OF LOVE

Our supposed logic has to break down before we can comprehend the nature of the universe and the bare beginnings of the nature of God. -- Fr.  Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," September 11, 2018

My yesterday's post of my newly found focus to realize President Trump's intense need and desire as the same as Saul of Tarsus' intense need and desire has been flittering through my thoughts. I suspect that is why I was led to the above quote of Fr. Rohr.

Without my thinking, or my permission for that matter, my logic is apparently being broken down. My rational mind does not see any possibility of giving over, giving up, giving in to President Trump's behavior. Ah, and there's my ego Lucy doing my thinking for me...pulling up the wrong that logically should be resisted when just this morning my BFO told me peaceful nonresistance is love.

I note and give thanks that Fr. Rohr's quote says our supposed logic has to break down before we can comprehend the bare beginnings of the nature of God...for it is certain sure that my desire for a realization of love toward President Trump or his behavior is going to be a hard slog.

And God grins...just another ego begging to be broken.

Thank you.
