The pleasure...the power!...in being 80 years old, 80 plus now, is pluperfect to me today. Daily living now is Oh, No giving over, giving up and giving in without conscious effort to thank you.
It is described eloquently by Fr Richard in his April 29th post, i.e., living simply helps level the playing field and offers abundance and enoughness to all. My take: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...I can never not have enough.
I am finding my reasoning mind being changed without any resistance from me (the key, of course). To my material mind, my world goes lacking on occasion. I am realizing that the structure of my life has changed seemingly without a by-your-leave from me, and I consciously welcome this.
The Sermon on the Mount, particularly resist not evil, has opened our spiritual core and allowed resist not...anything to bloom.
That is how we walk the rough and rugged road of life, not resisting but welcoming the slings and arrows of outrageous fate. (I love that phrase...it covers all the mental Oh No bases.)
Looking back, we see the rough and rugged places in life have been turned into the slivers of gold that peace our mind. Our mind is peaced as it need be, and there it is, our now definition of peace of mind.
Thank you.
