FINDING THE GOLD IN NONRESISTANCE

It comes to me as I sit in my quiet this morning that thy rod and thy staff are my self-determined objectives...they comfort me is the gold I must needs seek when my objectives turn to dross.

Generally, our self-determined objectives are rooted in egoic wants...also generally they go awry with us left holding the poop bag. Ah, that's our ego's rues, regrets and remorses aborning. We quick turn our thoughts from self to spiritual and seek until we find the sliver of gold there that comforts us.

Sidebar: We go with the word gold which is, of course God, but we never know when talking with a newbie to us if the very word God is verboten to them. Since, who's kidding whom, gold is rarely verboten to any of us, spiritual or not, we cut down resistance.

And absolutely apropos of nothing: With the last couple elections as my yardstick, I suspect that yesterday's election results will be rued by the winners and praised by the losers in the long run. So, winners, don't get too up, and losers, don't get too down...all is well. 

Thank you.
