In the main it is not by introspection but by reflecting on our living in common with others that we come to know ourselves. What is revealed? It is an original creation. Freely the subject makes himself what he is, never in this life is the making finished, always it is in process, always it is a precarious achievement that can slip and fall and shatter.
- Bernard Lonergan
Just for today, I will not be afraid. It was a good day. I got in the hot tub, prayed, meditated, went on a spiritual journey with a friend, watched my children play basketball and went out on a date with my spouse. Who could ask for a better life?
It doesn't mean that because I meditated for 30 minutes this morning that life didn't happen today! It definetly did. "Life comes at you fast..." But like a giant Bodhi Tree with roots running deep underground, I swayed but did not break when the storms came.
Meditation works....try it!
Peace
