In my dream, we would know God not as separate from creation, but as the living light and holy energy we encounter in and through creation: embodied, incarnated, in the current and flow of past, present, and future, known most intimately in the energy of love. -- Brian McLaren, Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, May 17, 2024
As I often remind me, I believe there are only two emotions, love and fear. When we are feeling good about anything, we are feeling love; when we are feeling less-than-good about anything, fear. All the gentler feelings stem from that well of love within us; all less-than or harsh feelings stem from that well of fear within us.
Recently, I have been having free-floating pinches of anxiety...which is different from the usual "anxiety attacks." I am letting these pass on by. They are very brief, no doubt due to my immediate thank you. I feel no need to otherwise control them, and though I feel fear in the moment, I heed it not.
Blinding flash of the obvious: I continue with my life, praying thank you, and anticipating nothing. God has me...my missteps are all heading me in the right direction, and the right direction can be a U-turn. That, too, is of God. I am open, I remain open for God's will, God's way to lead me to Trust...to Love.
Lord, hear my prayer: Thank You.
Thank you.
