THE NEW REALITY...GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY

Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. -- Matthew 18:3 

Fr Richard's paraphrase: I’m telling you once and for all, if you do not go back to square one and start over like a child, you will never be able to see the new reality. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, March 19, 2023

Ah, 'the new reality' -- my confirmation that PTSD is God's will, God's way, recalling me to the long ago core of my misconception. 

Here comes the egoic mind dragging my old reality behind...trying to figure it out. Whether it's idle chit-chat or deep sharing, when my mouth closes, I See Me's questions start running laps in my mind: Did I just sound like a fool? Did I just make an ass of myself? 

My new reality loves and laughs...eventually. I doubt not in my new reality of unknowing...unthinking trust...trying to remember to constantly affirm that God has my back. 

We must never presume that we see, and we must always be ready to see anew. [Yes] it’s hard to go back, to be vulnerable, and to say to our soul that 'I don’t know anything.' -- Ibid.

Thank you.
