lori

Spent the weekend with my spiritual direction group studying Thomas Merton and exploring how we personally may be moving from our false-self to our true-self. Great time of personal reflection and deepening my understanding of the transformation that is taking place in my life.

When I feel the "pressure" that I'm not quite where I want to be or feel like I need to be, to stay up with some imaginary holy person, I fall back to Merton's quote. . .

::Let us never forget

that we will never be anything

but a beginner on this journey::

(my paraphrase version)

I breathe more easily and rest in the Spirit and continue the dance with joy.
