This chapter is to do, and I feel like giving myself permission for that.
“I give you my obedience and let you do something new in this moment and in this experience… For whatever it may be. Be it as small and as big. Let the work or play not be a means for self-satisfaction (aka getting ‘better’), but rather be an adventure into and toward you true self.” – Michael Rozman on being obedient, having hope, finding joy. This is what we all seek, yet so far away for so long. We crave it, not just as a necessity of our spiritual and physical bodies, but also a necessity of ourselves, because this is how we know who we truly are… Being someone else than us, for our own good, in our life and beyond. The first step out on your journey, the one we have no idea where to take it… When it comes from within, it has the power to change everything… Like a spark caught & fed with the best stuff you can get. It doesn’t go away; but by feeding, nourishing. It’ll grow, eventually. To what?…

Thank you for your ever kind encouragement and coming along beside me as a fellow comrade. Reflection and stillness certainly are formational tools for us, aren’t they?

We just plain don’t spend enough time listening to God or anyone else or even ourselves. So then the challenge is how to change.
Thank you for your thought provoking posts!
