This fabulous earth school offers us the joyous and wonderful moments of love, passion, insight, metanoia, and so much more.
It also offers us moments demanding sacrifice, of terror, of deep sorrow and loss, and more.
Life is not bland, lived in a straight line of sameness. If we are paying attention, we see that this is a good thing. It's not supposed to be easy. All great things come from striving, learning, struggling, succeeding, failing, and finally succeeding. Whether it's learning to master the piano or learning to be the best human we can be, it's not easy. That's not how it works.
I firmly believe we are here to learn, and grow, to flex our spiritual muscles and see beyond appearances, beyond the bonds of ego.
We are to awaken to the sacredness of all of creation. We are to look in the eyes of those we call "other" and see the spark of God. We are to step out of the shadow of our self-absorption.
We are to put our feet upon this sacred Mother Earth, and our hearts in the realm of the Cosmic Christ.
