LOVE AND LAUGH...AND PRAY THANK YOU

However, as a person ripens in unsayable intimacies in God, they ripen in a paradoxical wisdom. They come to understand God as a presence that protects us from nothing, even as God unexplainably sustains us in all things. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," December 4, 2014

My thought on awakening this morning was that I need to shuck the shields of what I know before I can ever walk in trust of what I don't know...that which is already here but blocked by my egoic mind. Why else would a quote from 2014 drop in?

Here it is...my morning's need being fulfilled: I am even now in the process of being detached from the safety of "learned," while unproven new-borns flow forth...with self-doubt, the feeling of trepidation, stalking every step back I take. 

My new mantra: God protects me not, sustains me ever. Which I'll not remember...oh, wait...that's the good news. I do not need to remember, God is without thought.

I'm getting a glimmer that this is the way we build trust...do the dirty and trust God to use us for the clean-up. It is to laugh...and to love.

Thank you.
