Everyman's Journal 2011, #62 © 2011 Rev. David Seacord October 12 Dear Wholeness of Life, Before you entered me I knew nothing. I thank you for the great good luck of your impregnation, for in yielding to it --completely and without reservation-- I discover I am fulfilled. ________________ It is difficult to be half-pregnant, but in the spiritual domain, a lot of us try. Complete surrender of our lives to the 'control' of a 'higher power' just isn't all that easy for our egos, we say…. So we resist the irresistible flame, but thank God it does no good. And secretly, if we tell the truth, this brings us great Happiness. It's like a tug of war that we know we are outmatched in, and we know we are going to lose…. but… it is that very knowing that gives us permission to 'fight on'… because knowing the outcome makes the journey only a game…. a wonderful game… all pretense and drama… but in the end, like two lovers remembering their true love for each other in the middle of a heated argument, we know we love losing ourselves to God. Namaste, David
