ACCEPTANCE, IN A WORD

My morning blinding flash of the obvious: It is better (spiritually) for me to gain peace within, without than it is to win the high opinion of my nemesis.

In pondering that, I find comfort knowing I am on my right track heading in the right direction. That track, that direction is, just give up the fight...and Now. The fight being my inner resistance to my outer picture...whatever that picture is Now. And, who's kidding whom, we give up the fight in order to realize the Presence within us, without us...else we may never "get" it.

When I read Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation" for today, I was happy (and relieved) that, to me, he says the same thing only much clearer:  We must discover and accept what unique part of the divine mystery is ours to reflect. The most courageous thing we will ever do is to bear humbly the mystery of our own reality, to trust our divine image and grow in God’s likeness.

Today, the "unique part of the divine mystery" that is mine to reflect is that which seems to be a  paradox, Resist not evil. Love and laugh.

Thank you.
