We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness. -- Thich Nhat Hanh
Like most spiritual things, that cannot be understood with the dualistic or rational mind, but only at the level of soul. -- Fr Richard Rohr
Inertia is my bane today. I blame it on being 80. But if the answer to getting out of ourself, do something about something, was pure truth when I was 40, it is true still. Truth doesn't change, our want-to does.
It's times like these that I find my joy in outside happenings: Tiger just won his 82nd tournament and tied Sam Snead's record; the Nats are still in it...one more, one more; Roger also won, his 10th Swiss Open; I know Ruckus is bounding around heaven bring joy to the angels; God loves me and so do more than one or two actual walking-around people. And best of all, I love them all right back.
Hey, if love is the answer to all our woes, than I can love inertia. I've just remembered two things I need to do today because I want to...both of which move me out of me.
The trouble with spiritual growth is that it works.
Thank you.
