As we experience discomfort in this time, let’s begin to dream of a new normal, a new normal that addresses the weaknesses and problems that were going unaddressed in the old normal. If we’re wise, we won’t go back; we’ll go forward. —Brian McLaren in Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," July 11, 2020
What a clear and wonderful goal: As we experience discomfort, we need to begin to aim toward a new normal that addresses weaknesses and problems that we had not yet realized, so they were going unaddressed.
We need not go back, digging up more to fix or fiddle with, but forward to the God of our deeper understanding turning freedom from want into realization of no need unfulfilled.
I shall not want. -- The 23rd Psalm
Thank you.
