LIFE'S ONLY LESSON

[They] were the first witnesses to the resurrection because they remained present for the entire process, from death unto new life, exactly what is necessary to witness resurrections in our own lives as well. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," July 23, 2020

I know I'm going through changes...I wonder if that quote doesn't describe what is being asked of me now...to remain present for the entire process from death [of the old] unto the new [which is being birthed within even as I breathe]. 

I wonder if that isn't life's plan for all of us...from birth we learn as we go, shucking any and all shields as we grow.

Maybe it is that we remain present beyond death to the Power we found within us before birth. That is what life in this world is all about...heading in the right direction, going off track, getting back on track...trudging the road of happy destiny. 

The right direction is a spiritual direction...spiritual being away from ego, toward the God of our own understanding. Same goes for atheists as for believers...we keep coming back until we get it right, according to the Power for good within us.

Flight of fantasy: We are imbued with the Power within before conception, when there is just the birthing pool. This is a forever Power for good, for our own benefit. Ah, that this is a Power for good, for our own benefit is the lesson that we keep learning, that keeps us coming back until we get it right. It may well be life's only lesson.

Thank you.
