I believe that...more precisely, I accept it for truth because, who's kidding whom, it was said by the Dalai Lama when he was meeting with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Even if I doubted it, I wouldn't admit it.
My pleasant surprise is that I want to believe it. I want it to be true. I just doubt my ability to do it.
Ah-ha! There it is...I self-doubt often upon reading or hearing of a spiritually beautiful practice that requires me not to think but to do. Even when I am doing...imperfectly, but unconsciously trying. Maybe especially then.
Now there's a comfort. Imagine that...that is comforting to me. It suggests (or I choose to believe) that is my human condition. I usually do self-doubt first, but grace and gratitude scoots right out there, cutting ego off...usually with a laugh. Nothing damps down ego like laughter. Wrapped in love.
That is not ours to do...that is ours to accept: The Father doeth the work. Ah. we've come full circle.
Thank you.
