A contemplative life:
it's already a contemplative life, an opportunity for continuous meditation through my every interaction - forgiveness isn't an act of pardoning, it's zen, mindfulness at its deepest practice. There was a time when I considered monastic living, quieting my life to such a degree that I couldn't help but know myself as one with God. Of course that wasn't necessary, and in fact, would have kept me far removed from what really needed to be done. Lesson 122 of A Course in Miracles was my reintroduction to the world, reminding me that forgiveness truly offers everything I want and it's everyday life that offers me it's full value. Here's my practice, just a few steps away from my meditation cushion and life rushes at me, full of tiny mad ideas that try and prove how I've somehow separated myself from God - and yet every idea now serves as a reminder to simply look deeper, past the surface of my daily affairs, and find the light that exists just beneath the world's appearance.
the light is always there, easier to find than ever.
it's a contemplative life.
and I'm finding God everywhere.
thank you.

I love you, Eric
