I am realizing Now...literally, Now, even as I write...the infinitesimal upward leaps that are ever occurring within me...as in, my "faith of a mustard seed" revelation is my raised consciousness, the creativity brought forth by longing.
Those leaps may appear to outside eyes as bumbling, dumb, unlearned, and i want to "explain" how very elevated i am and "you, too" must become. I pray my thank you that Now I know, and I know I know by my mustard seed of faith that I am being moved...'nuff said.
Fr Richard's "Daily Meditation" this morning had a definition I want for mine: ....we all take steps to free [self], find our way, again and again, to an expansive tolerance and a high reverence for paradox.
A dear friend told me yesterday that he has been diagnosed with colon cancer. I expressed my care and concern while my mustard seed of faith enwrapped him and his journey with thank you. My worry-prone self rests knowing that thank you is sufficient for his needs.
Fr Richard's same "Meditation" threw more light on my and my friend's separate journeys as entwined: The disciples didn’t leave...with a fully memorized set of beliefs. Rather, theirs was a loving way of life that had become the air they breathed, anchored in contemplation and fully dedicated to kinship as its goal.
I cannot doubt that my settling into my touch-the-hem journey of faith and my friend's journey settling into a diagnosis of colon cancer and the journey of others settling into winning the billion dollar lottery and/or a diagnosis of dementia are one and the same... intertwined in a loving way of life that is the air we breath, anchored in contemplation and fully dedicated to kinship as its goal.
Or, in short, our journey is The Journey...One'd by way of Love and Laughter.
Thank you.
