Blinding flash of the obvious: Not the Courts, not Congress, not any human-originated law can bring about civil rights for the so-called Others. Only the White people, seeing, recognizing, realizing their wrong, can change their collective mind, then work with the Others to right it.
To heal our relationships, we have to move closer to people we do not like, learn to work with them without friction. -- Eknath Easwaran, "Words to Live By," May 1
What we must realize unto living it is all BFOs, all the "right" words we so relate to are given us not to talk about, i.e., preach on, but to live by in our walking around world. Which, hard, hard lesson, means to misinterpret, misunderstand, misuse as we "see, recognize, realize our wrong," and go to God to aid us in changing our mind...thus life.
Agreeing with words divine does not make them ours...living the words just as we breathe without conscious thought gives us ownership. However, it is that glimmer of light, our first connection, that turns us in the right direction, toward seeking spiritual growth.
We continue in the right direction by the many U-bies we make to correct our never-ending missteps, errors and wrongs, a.k.a., our self-determined objectives. The toughest part about self-determined objectives is learning not to regret them but to accept them as the way we learn to let go.
Regret is two-pronged: Stay there, we stay in the reasoning mind; accept, or kiss it on the lips, and it is transmuted into gratitude. There...thank you, the baseline for letting go.
Rues, regrets and remorses...ego holding on. Loose it and let it go...God's will.
Thank you.
