THE MIND ALONE WILL NEVER GET US THERE

The bottom line is that everybody has enough. *** Trying to understand it with your mind, you’ll never get it.... Cynthia Bourgeault, "Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation," June 11, 2026

When I read "everybody has enough," my head, my heart my Soul shouted Amen! That I have enough has for a long time now been my mental safety net. 

Back in the '80s when I had what I call the care and feeding of the IRS, I intuitively knew that I had enough, would always have enough. I knew I could and would be able to feed and house my beloved dog and me...and I did not know that by the evidence in my bank account which was reading zero. 

I did get through that period without needing to beg, borrow or steal. I had a job, I made the deal the IRS presented, and I was moved on to my next level...learning the art of spiritual love. Or, learning to feel love for others when the response feels less that loving. 

I can see...but cannot yet do without serious effort...the need is to take nothing personally. Acceptance in a word. 

As Bourgeault wrote, Trying to understand it with your mind, you’ll never get it.

Thank you.
