Your
Daily Reprieve for Wednesday April 17, 2024 From Waynesville, NC |
"It requires wisdom to
understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the
audience is deaf. ~Walter Lippman “What I’ve had to figure
out is that I can’t figure anything out.” ~Grapevine: Port Townsend,
Washington, October 1994 The sacred task at hand is
to let yourself be reclaimed by something
deeper than the immediacy of struggle
and pain. This something need not be
identified or fixated upon, but surrendered to. True faith is not knowing
and that being OK ~ Alan Watts |
Big Book Quote Then you will know
what it means to give of yourself that others may survive and rediscover
life. You will learn the full meaning of "Love thy neighbor as thyself." P153 |

Daily Reflection LOVE AND FEAR AS
OPPOSITES All these failings generate
fear, a soul-sickness in its own right. TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE
TRADITIONS, p. 49 "Fear knocked at the
door; faith answered; no one was there." I don't know
to whom this quote should be attributed, but it
certainly indicates very clearly that fear is an illusion. I create the
illusion myself. I experienced fear early in
my life and I mistakenly thought that the mere
presence of it made me a coward. I didn't know that one of the
definitions of "courage" is "the willingness to do the right
thing in spite of fear." Courage, then, is not necessarily
the absence of fear. During the times I didn't
have love in my life I most assuredly had fear. To fear
God is to be afraid of joy. In looking back, I realize
that, during the times I feared God most, there was no joy in
my life. As I learned not to fear God, I also learned to
experience joy. |
Pot Luck Father Leo's Daily Meditation INDIVIDUALITY "You'll never really know what I mean and I'll never really know exactly what you mean." --Mike Nichols There is a certain loneliness in life with which we
must all live; perhaps this is the price of individuality. I am
not always sure that I know what I am feeling or thinking and so I know I
cannot be absolutely sure of what you are feeling or
thinking. Today when I say "I know how you feel", it is with this
reservation. Another problem I face daily is finding words to
express what I feel -- language seems so inadequate. Words, although
bridges to meaning, are often barriers to understanding. What I mean by
what I say is often misunderstood. This awareness provides me with the stimulus to be
more precise, explicit and creative in my methods of
communication and understanding. Today I consider more seriously what
the other person is trying to say, rather than just listening to the
words. Because I am sensitive to my difficulties in being understood, I
am becoming patient with my neighbor. Teach us never to become victims of our language.
