I SHALL NOT WANT...TODAY

Through meditation [like Centering Prayer] it gradually becomes ingrained in us that “losing one’s life,” regardless of the action that may ultimately be required of us in the outer world, entails first and foremost a passage from our ordinary awareness to our spiritual one, because only at this deeper level of non-fearbased, wholistic perception will we be able to understand what is actually required of us. -- Cynthia Bourgeault

The exchanging of our mind, from material to spiritual, is a process that we walk through seldom with clear, or any, recognition. 

In looking back, we realize a change usually from someone else pointing it out. It's then...and we often feel a tish baffled...that acceptance begins to take root. (However, if we're the only one seeing the change, count on it, ego is strutting its stuff.)   

Our exchanged mind begins with the opening of our heart center: 

• We see those first drawn to us to learn, teaching us today. 
• We see those we were drawn to as our teachers sometimes being taught by us today. 
• We lose, we find...we know them as the same, of God, today,
• We let go a beloved with sadness but no regrets today. 
• We accept an un-beloved with the grace of gratitude today. 
• We shall not want...we seek to give today.

We are left stunned. Befuddled. Enchanted. But not in doubt.  

I'm taking this for my greening process. Later, no doubt, I'll know it for other, but for today...close enough.

Thank you.
