Our true and deep need is to experience the unitive mystery in ourselves and in all of creation. The spiritual and the material are one....For more and more people, union with the divine is first experienced through “the Universal Christ”—in nature, in moments of pure love, silence, inner or outer music, with animals, or a primal sense of awe. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," January 16, 2022
I seem unconsciously to be evidencing silence as my new learning tool, and consciously recognizing that my work is to accept that as the beginning of still expanding consciousness.
Most like, this is why trust has been the flashing light to my inner eye for a while now. I need honor the voice of the Spirit by my trust in silence, as in letting my spoken words come or not only as the Spirit moves me.
Mistakes will be made.
But I trust, and my trust is supported and encouraged by knowing in willing wonder that mistakes will be made...if I'm doing it right. There will be no mistakes if self-willed silence prevails...then my Old Reliable can be tape crossed the mouth.
Whoa, Wow, and Oh rats. This is all news to me. But look....no exclamation points ! . Proof...silence aborning.
Here's me, Lord, do with me, build of me, as you will so that I may better serve you.
Thank you.
