Footprints in the Windsm # 1663–a touching of the highest:

Footprints in the Windsm # 1663

God is vision itself: taking us beyond where we are to what and who we can be. This is the intersection of morality and spirituality, and the higher part. Not a bunch of shoulds, but a touching of the highest implanted in us, wanting to grow up out of us. So our hearts go out to repressed and poverty-stricken people, to people needing justice and a voice; we don’t seek only to feel bad for them, but feel moved to get up off our prayer seat and touch them; we don’t seek to assuage our conscience with check-writing, but seek to do. There is a vast gaping abyss between morality and spirituality: pangs on one side, metanoia on the other.


Please pass it on.

A cowl

Maybe there is a hood we can put on, a cowl, that is the elder-hood.

A field beyond meaning

There is a field beyond meaning, a place to hold meaning and meaninglessness as both essential to life. This may be a grace of late elderhood.
