Seasoned contemplatives like Thomas Merton describe letting go, letting be, letting come, and setting free as discovering the true self. -- McLaren, "Daily Meditations," August 20, 2025
There...letting go, letting be, letting come, and setting free...that may tell the tale of our seemingly unending search to live not from our head but from the Power within, the Power within each of us. The more we search out there for the Power, the farther away we take us from its discovery.
Our search is another self-determined objective, or our block. It is akin to searching for breath even as we breathe...we stop breathing, looking for our breath. Uh-oh.
We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but by waiting for them. -- French philosopher and mystic Simone Weil
Thank you.
