One of the great surprises on the human journey is that we come to full consciousness precisely by shadowboxing, facing our own contradictions, and making friends with our own mistakes and failings - Fr Richard's Daily Meditations, May 30, 2025
Since April 30th at 3:00 AM, my journey has felt rugged, rocky, scary, with the question is this self-will or God's will playing constantly in my thoughts.
Not knowing, and knowing I do not know, and becoming open to that as my new way of life has been really scary...and yet, thank You, God, I have continued walking forward...toward that which has been my Light for some 50 years
By that Light, I am assured that I am on good ground...hunkered down with the God of my own understanding and Jesus, Mary and Joseph (emphasis on Joseph).
I accept that I'm not fear-free and likely never will be, but this is the new Way I get to walk which I've suspected, and even talked about, since I turned 80.
I'm good to go...all the while my reasoning mind is nattering, wait, this may be X, Y and/or Z, none right, all scary. I let it natter. Shaking like a leaf in a high wind, I move forward...toward God, with God.
Let the devil take the hindmost...as my grandma used to say.
Thank you.
