My morning blinding flash of the obvious: My 'less thans' are my lessons...my lessons are my blessings.
As I have learned, experienced and accepted, my life gifts nearly always come to me looking less than. Today, that realization is my pearl beyond price.
When a less than comes calling, after a time of recalcitrant resistance, thank you just follows, and I am freed to do the next thing that comes to mind.
When I am first removed from the snafu, my mind is cleared to journal or text a friend or read, whatever. But on a deeper plane higher than when I was resistant.
As I look back, I see again that my spiritual growth has been largely counterintuitive...that invites in my favorite Bible verse, Resist not evil.
Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh in re mindfulness: Embrace your anger with a lot of tenderness.
Thank you.
