AN INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT

From my 1880s meditation book: "When we do our work in the great present...we are like to Him with whom there is no past or future...We walk without fear, full of hope and courage and strength to do His will, waiting for the endless good which He is always giving as fast as He can get us able to take it in."

Since promising to add something to our blog fully eight days ago, and not doing so, missing this week's group meeting, and having to reinitiate my password today so I could log in, I'm ready to get started. It takes some time, sometimes, to fulfill one's word to others.

What I promised to do was pick one word, and add some discussion about it to get the blog going again. I didn't forget.

The word came up earlier this week, so it was worth the wait for this writer.

How about "discernment"? It's something that's working in my mind and helping me to carefully consider my journey.

Do you tend to commit to things then regret it right away? I do that all the time. It's from lack of consideration for others that I do so, and then have to figure out how to get out of it. Why do I say "yes" before I think about all the options and how it might affect my path or others in it?

If I were more "discerning", I'd be more careful.

That's it for the moment. Thanks for letting me share.
