I love coming again to that reminder from St. Francis, that I only know as much as I do.
I am especially moved by the memory it jogs right now...as I mentally judge a friend who is being recalcitrant in a friend-related incident while preaching that she now lives in acceptance. Whatever comes to her, she accepts without qualm or quandary, she says...as I give my mental eye roll
There. My mirror still on the job showing me that with that thought, I am doing that which I am resisting.
I know better...which is heading in the right direction, but it's the doing that brings the peace of mind I seek. There it is, the pearl beyond price...peace of mind.
We do better not to win applause, accolades or acknowledgement...we do better to live in peace within. Winning is not on the table...even win/win is not on the table. There is no contest for to win...there is only a mind at peace.
Whoa! Here's me, moving into a how-and-why about that which I am not doing.
Love and laugh, love and laugh.
Thank you.
