The job is difficult this week. I am quick to want more money, more authority, more variety, but none comes and I struggle. At the same time, I want to know as fully as possible the spirit living in and through me. What does it want from me and what does it want for itself?
"... your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, and though they are with you yet they belong not to you."
Can I learn to be with Life as I would be with a child? Extend attention and devotion but leave space in my plans–or drop them altogether–to serve as Life asks? I would not presume to stylize a child, why do I insist on stylizing my life?
It is challenging to think of surrendering my ego’s position, but who am I to know how Life should be? Surrender doesn’t mean I can’t or won’t work for change; it means I embrace radical humbling.
As with a child, I bring to Life what awareness I have and let go.
