The times are urgent; let us slow down. -- Author Bayo Akomolafe
The most spiritual thing you are ever going to do is slow down. -- First heard by me some fifty years ago, not understood at all then, never forgotten, growing clearer every year, holy writ to me today.
The egoic mind resists, the spiritual mind persists.
Slowing down when fear is urging us to get outta Dodge quick, fast and in a hurry is spirituality at its finest, also when it feels downright obtuse.
We quote the spiritual need to go beyond reason to love...we all but preach it. Ah, but being met with the actual need to do it? There's our proof come calling.
We come to trust...in the face of fear, in the face of our brain not knowing what God's will, God's way is...we come to trust that this is for our benefit. Not for my benefit or your benefit or their benefit...for our benefit.
The Divine Good flows for the benefit of all...slowly, slowly. Ah, but truly.
Thank you.
