THAT NEWCOMER FEELING

Divine Mind and its wonder working is beyond your finite mind to understand. ("God Calling," January 31)

My thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways are not your ways. . . . As high as the heavens are above the earth, so my ways are beyond your ways, and my thoughts are beyond your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8–9)

... the ego insists on certitude and perfect clarity (as if that were even possible with things divine). (Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," January31, 2021)

I am feeling unmoored, insecure, stand-offish, uneasy...I have labeled all that my "newbie feeling." It may be my initiation into the cloud of unknowing, but I am willing to accept, and find it easier to believe in this my 50th year, that it is my initiation into Old Fart status.  

Whatever. 

I take comfort in being given those three readings today for they settle my searching mind...or, more exactly, they settle my ego that insists on certitude and perfect clarity! 

Don't tell me God doesn't have my back! (Remind me, though.)

Thank you.
