More free-floating thoughts...or as God whispers, I take notes:
A peacemaker makes peace within himself or herself. -- The Sermon on the Mount - an Introduction to the Secret Teachings of Jesus by David Capps [Ah, to make peace within oneself...the highest mountain, the impossible dream, the Cross.]
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. -- The 23rd Psalm [There...I shall not want, our guarantee that I have enough, I am enough.]
Whether I know it or not -- my fail-safe. [When such as I shall not want seems too good to be true, we add whether I know it or not and be at peace.]
To draw closer to others, you have to rebel against yourself. -- Eknath Easwaran, May 25
According to Fr Richard: All self-sufficient people remain outsiders to the mystery of divine love because they will always misuse it. [A reminder for when I am self-sufficiently figuring it out for myself.]
Grant what thou commandest and then command what thou wilt. -- Saint Augustine [That is my "Use me, Father, to do your will...then will whatever." To live in that permissive state is to live worry-free...hey, the Father really does do the work.]
Now comes the part that makes the 'belly bitter'...the living of these truths. -- Joel Goldsmith [This qualifies as the Amen to all my spiritual wants, desires, dreams...the just do it, darlin' of God.]
Thank you.
