My thoughts this morning were about Gertrude...specifically, my mentally leveling her for never yet owning her screed to me about me...not the "N-word" remark she made for the group's awe, but when there was just the two of us.
Came the realization: Me is my juggernaut. It is not Gertrude's ego that is doing my thinking, judging...it is my ego about Gertrude's ego.
I am opened...I realize that Gertrude's language and mine are different but we each are seeking God in whatever our manner, means or language.
Ego deflation in depth takes the me out of resistant thoughts...there is no resistance without me. I hear again the truth that her path to walk is not my path, but all paths lead to God.
The Spirit still moves when we move past our prejudices and differences. -- Rev. Dr. Yvette Flunder, from Fr Richard's Daily Meditation today, November 16, 2022
Thank you.
