As always, I am inspired by the insight and wisdom of Father Richard Rohr in this week’s “Daily Meditations.”
As I cultivate the annihilation of my small self ego identities, the “not that, not that” practice, I find the truth in the lesson that when you can fall courageously and willingly into not knowing and nothingness, everything is imbued and radiant with awe and beauty.
FR Rohr speaks to this beautifully…
“Jesus says the only people who can recognize and be ready for what he’s talking about are the ones who come with the mind and heart of a child. It’s the same reality as the beginner’s mind.
“Beginner’s mind is a readiness to always be in awe, to always be excited. Beginner’s mind is one’s mind before the hurts of life have made us cautious and self-protective. We can still be excited, we can still be in awe, we can still expect tomorrow to be different than today.”
