Great fear coupled with great longing work together to paralyze the very best in us all, I believe. Are we possessed by our possessions, governed by our privileges, and blinded by partisanship so that we forget the only one thing that will liberate us ALL? Humility! Meaning: be right-sized!
“So strong is our desire to have things our own way, so entrenched is the need to control, so fearful are we of taking risks, that we need daily meditation to learn how to be gentle and sensitive, to wait and be still, to notice things and begin to believe not just that it is safe to trust but that our only hope is to allow Divinity to take control.
Some of us have a blind hardness that quickly surfaces when our patch is threatened. It is the gift of prayer that softens our hardened hearts.” from Sister Stanislaus Kennedy, Gardening The Soul.
Mine is ours. I is we. They are us.
