Funny how when I get to a certain idea or place in consciousness, I start seeing other people’s posts about much the same thing. They were probably always there; I just wasn’t seeing things from that particular perspective. I wrote about being authentic last time and all of a sudden it seems a hot topic. And well it should be.
Speaking of being authentic, wow, it’s been an interesting few days. I’ve been writing papers and reflections for the end of this class series in spiritual direction, and I had a meeting with my spiritual director yesterday. I had realized there was an unconscious level of resentment last week, I think (it’s all a blur really) then yesterday I was talking about all of that and how I always seem to be in a hurry to get to the next thing, so I miss out in the present moment. That’s a lifelong habit that I am much more aware of now that I’ve slowed down a little. When I was invited to just sit with it for a moment and see what was there, the thought that popped into my head was that I was afraid of being left behind. Hmm, that’s a new one and I’m still just hanging out with it because I’ve come to realize that I’m always off to the next thing with many of my insights too. Time to just be with it and see where it takes me.
Namaste
