Mature Spirituality
In mature spirituality we are willing to have a dialogue with pain, with evil, to hold them in our prayers. In situations of great pain, someone has to consciously suffer the impact, to become the ground where the sorrows can be held and reworked. These things can be carried with grace. But it can’t be faked. If you go to someone with 99 percent of goodwill and are still caught in 1 percent of anger, all they feel is the anger, and it pushes them from reconciliation. The heart has to willingly hold the whole of suffering for it to be transformed.

I had to sit still after I read this one and reflect on the meaning to me. It came back to me that I have a LONG WAY TO GO!!Honestly, I am not sure this is even possible to achieve in our lives here?? The only thing that comes close to this is the love of a DOG. Dogs love you unconditionally and this is how I read this mornings words. Today I am grateful for these thoughts shared today and it is my desire to be like the DOG in this area. I am still a small puppy and have alot of growing to become a mature DOG………
