Oh Happy Day! All is well with my world! Whatever that has been lingering on my mind is gone! My refund was direct deposited! I’m not aware of a care about anything in this NOW moment! I AM SO GRATEFUL! I am conscious of some of my many Blessings and when I receive Grace. I am not the only one. All have Blessings, All receive Grace. I AM HUMBLED TO MY KNEES. (And footnote, grateful I can bend my knees!)
How can one have a spiritual practice and not feel humility all of the time? I’ve been known to say that I had a golden thread to God…and this was never stated in a pompous manner. Quite to the contrary. I always felt this with such gratitude and humility. When I feel my connection, that unequivocal, total unconditional loving and supportive connection to God, I also feel the power and I marvel that I, along with countless other human beings in the world, have a consciousness which comforts me like this: I am not special, I am not a member of an elite group of spiritualists. In fact, the way I think about this is that anyone I meet could be representative of the Holy Commune of creation blessing me with their presence. (Like the homeless man who I gave a lift to Good Will last week.)
I am not an untouchable…I am a touchable! I am approachable. I do not have to associate with ‘certain people’ who understand me. I’ve referred to a homeless man, David, who once prayed over me and brought me to tears. His words were no less than those of Jesus, and I felt them.
One of my best friends and I have very different spiritual views; yet, when I am sometimes impatient with our differences, I am reminded instantly that this is one of the reasons why we are friends. Our friendship transcends our spiritual differences. My humility reminds me I cannot begin to presume my precepts are the rule for her to follow…we each live out our lives as we came to do, each to our best ability and with the knowledge we have acquired. This is love. This is acceptance. This is the art of allowing without an air of superiority. THIS IS HUMILITY.
To paraphrase Ram Dass, a recently departed renown spiritualist, ‘there is a golden light of love in every heart, no matter how opaque the container of that heart may be.’
I can never have enough generosity of heart and humility of soul. These are my personal assurances to myself.
When you ask for help it is a humble request. Your spiritual pursuits
continuously authorize satisfaction of your curiosity. ~Gaya
Blessed Be. To All Be Blessed. Continue to Be Safe, Stay Well.
