Rx: Stillness
There are times when the only thing you can do is be utterly still. Not so much as you are all calm and meditative but as in there is literally nowhere else to turn, nothing else to do or think, i.e. fear has you at a complete standstill. When the unexpected happens (and it will) and someone in your circle attempts suicide, or receives a diagnosis, or you get your tax bill and think perhaps the government is planning to pay off its debt with only your contribution. When the baby’s birthdate is no more due to miscarriage or the chronic illness reaches a new low, baffling even the most...

I read today these known words in a book I randomly picked up off my bookshelf: “If thou canst but believe; all things are possible to him who believes.” It is the crux of opening up to success of any kind. And it bloody annoys me. It stirs up in me anger, hurt and shame because I again wonder, “Why and how could I have forgotten who and what I am?” This is what is being forgiven in my extending love to the fear of success. This deep angry, annoyed, entitled shame. Shame, not that I allowed the forgetting, but that I am caught out. I could not outwit,...

Annoyance is a quality of my tiredness. Or is tiredness a quality of my annoyance? Let’s just say they come together. Recently our older corgi, Matilda had a rash that got infected. Yuck and ugh. The vet gave her a long course of antibiotics and special shampoo. Of course I have to administer both, which is nearly as much fun at root canal work without the benefit of a kind dentist. Part of the problem is that this dog is carrying too much weight for her frame, this combined with a bit of contact dermatitis led to the greater problem. You can see my annoyance goes deeper than...

Yesterday I shared with you a practice by which you can feel the Holy Spirit within yourself. I thought I might share my own experience today so you know whatever you feel is ok. The first thing I felt this morning as I took time to feel into the Holy Spirit was my old friend resistance. Ugh. This is what resistance looks like for me: thoughts, thoughts and more thoughts. Some of the thoughts try to masquerade as useful or helpful like “What does it MEAN to feel the Holy Spirit?”, “You can’t feel anything, let alone the Holy One!”, “What if I feel...
