I'm taken by the deep meaning of Father Richard's encouraging words, to find the wisdom in the paradoxical nature of reality.
In general, I "find the wisdom" as I come to it...the wisdom finds me, in effect. There have been more than a few times when I've had to ponder, seriously study, some wisdom that I've read or heard of. But that just proves that the wisdom finds me...my way opens me as I come to Truth.
Today, I usually know where it is leading me, but back in the day, like other spiritually seeking beginners. I had to ponder hard just to let go of my own ideas of Truth, of God's will, God's way.
That tells the story of my still more spiritual growth. I started out wanting to believe...which was God's gift, not a self-determined objective. As my spiritual growth deepened, my want-to increased...again, God's will, God's way.
I am oh so grateful that I do seek the wisdom revealed in the paradoxical nature of reality. Honestly, it never would have occurred to me to see it that way. yet that puts a purer dimension to it.
My way is simply knowing that I seek still more spiritual growth...which requires getting over myself fairly regularly.
There it is another pearl beyond price: Today I love and laugh a lot.
God is so good to us...for us.
Thank you.
