OUR GREAT COMFORTER

Blinding flash of the obvious: All my wonderings and wanderings are my 40 years in the desert.

All of our wonderings and wanderings...including all of our rues, regrets and remorses, all of our gifts of love and laughter....are our "40 years in the desert."

The changes taking place within me now: All the glib and glitter have fallen away, there is only dull and ordinary. There is no pride in authorship, just rueful memories, regrets that there isn't more, better, prettier, deeper. There is no wowowowow...and this is my Beloved.

Is this then the evidence when we are being fully truly turned? Me over to Thee. You effect the changes within that we need...all the while we are praying for changes, expecting to feel an upgrade. 

But none shall know us by our facade...we shall be drawn together by our commonality, and we shall be comforted. Our commonality, our Great Comforter. 

This, too, is temporary. This, too, is still more spiritual growth.

Thank you.
