A good gauge of spiritual health is to write down
the three things you most want.
If they in any way differ,
you are in trouble.
—Daniel Ladinsky, "inspired by Rumi"
In trying to write down the three things I most want, many thoughts popped only to be rejected as not wholly true or even partly so.
I did get some insightful truths about my walking-around beliefs on the way to making my list. Here are some that stuck:
- The trouble with isolation is that it fits so well.
- Friends are valuable; non-friends are invaluable.
- We do not get to God on what another believes; we get to God on what we believe.
- Indecision is a lack of trust...we have universal faith in God; personal trust in God is a choice we must make at the time.
- Our life is lived according to God's will...whether we know it or not.
- Our basic need: To go to God for God and that is all.
- Thank you gets us there.
Thank you.
