Blinding flash of the obvious: We come to God like we come to a laundromat with a mountain of dirty clothes. We put the clothes in the washer, yet we continue to suffer rues, regrets and remorses that we have a mountain of dirty clothes. We put the washed clothes in the dryer yet continue to regret that we have a mountain of dirty clothes. God and the washer/dryer do, have done and will do their work...we are the dragfoot. Our attention...our ego-filtered love...is tied to our dirty clothes. Loose them and let them go.
There was a time when I would say, half joking therefore half serious, that having someone to blame is perfect peace. I have since experienced the fact that having someone to blame is a full-blown resentment. Knowing that is one thing, living that...ah, a whole deeper self-world. Loose it and let it go.
There. My job with the Spirit as my guide: Loose him and let him go. -- John 11:44
Thank you.
