Egoic mind: Go big or go home.
Spiritual mind: Go little to go Home.
For some time now little, littler, less than have been pushing me...as in my right way to go. I haven't preached it...face it, it does not make a lot of sense...but I cannot turn from it.
The long-ago BFO, God on the head of a pin, came to me recently, and I was comforted. I do not doubt today that was the lead to little becoming my new way. I admit that nary a person has verbally agreed, or even made agreeable listening noises, to my little talk...but I stand on it.
Imagine my joy when I read Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation today which confirms little for my spiritual way: That constant experience of littleness is the Franciscan way.....Thérèse of Lisieux called it her 'Little Way.'
Fr Richard further: Constant failure at loving is ironically and paradoxically what keeps us learning how to love. To me, that explains little as coming to understand that letting go, or in truth losing, is the way we continue to learn to love and laugh.
Trust God, wear your galoshes, be grateful.
Thank you.
