Faith must trample underfoot
all reason, sense and understanding.
An obstacle to my understanding the spiritual life was my intellectualization; my head was forever getting in... Read More the way of my heart. It was much easier to me to think rather than to feel; my faith was smothered by logic. My manipulating and controlling mind was stopping me experiencing the adventure of faith. The person in me grew as I began to trust others. The Creator became alive in my confusion. The answer was in not having to have the answers. Today spirituality involves all the varied confusions and paradoxes of life that I have discovered in me and in others ---and it's okay. Today the love I give and receive is beyond my wildest dreams, and I smile at the joy of my confusion.
May my head unite with my heart in the daily maze of
life.
