So many dos and don'ts, "Stop this" and "Get out of that". Are they instructions to be acted on?
Today I feel I'm being told they are not. Are we to conquer ego? Or mind? The past? Who would be doing that?

What I hear today is that instructions are strictly human while God "only" makes suggestions. We insist and struggle, God nudges. We plan for the future, God whispers, Do not keep cracking the old shell. Break out from it at last. We object: "Hey, You ever heard of breaking out without proper hacking?" And His smiling reply is: "I have occasionally witnessed it, and I would love to see much more of it."

I believe that God's words, although timeless, eternal, are for this moment. If I hear them now while I'm reading, fine. If I don't, fine. Perhaps next time I will be ready. But there is nothing I have to do. In fact, there is nothing that can be done. And one day, in amazement, I will watch my hand reach for the front door knob and turn it.

It's ever only this, the present. Let it touch you now. "Sorry, God, I still don't know how to allow this." "Don't be sad, son, don't be mad, you will. It is Our will, and you know it is."
