The ancient path of the desert mystics invites us to disrupt the patterns of ego and empire through the courageous pursuit of inner liberation. —Stephen Copeland
Inner liberation. I ponder those words. I ponder those words until they become mine...until I realize a transformation within/without me, specifically my Soul. My Soul of which I feel nothing physically, but I realize to be sense is my everything.
Looking back on my spiritual awakening, some fifty years now, I am amazed at my singular effort. For that is not how I knew me to be...I was ever a one-shot deal person.
In my freshman year at college (where else!), I learned a cynical take on trying: If at first you don't succeed, quit...don't be an ass about it.
Most folks laughed at that; I took it to heart...one-shot deal.
Today, I am realizing ever more fully my self over the years becoming My Self. I am that I Am.
There it is...the gift of gold in turning 80 and still growing.
I am 80+ today and content to be...unfinished in order to stay fresh in God's gift of new growth.
God loves me so much...God loves us so much.
Thank you.
