The politics of our culture compel us to be insecure about issues that don’t exist. They persuade us to make arguments where there are no disagreements. They convince us to idolize sublimity and ignore reality. Only quiet times – communing with our own hearts and the heart of the Father, can keep us free from such deceitful perspectives of life and humanity. May we learn to keep ourselves free of muck so that we do not become producers and distributors of it.
Connect with God in silence.
Connect with nature in gratitude.
Connect with our loved ones with authenticity.
Connect with strangers with grace and openness.
And with all vigilance, diligence and regularity, disconnect from the convenient.
Love and prayers for you.
