Wednesday Wisdom: It’s All About Living

I am immersed in reading Richard Rohr’s book, The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See. Richard is one of the wisdom teachers in the Living School, which I started in August.

I wanted to share some of Richard’s thoughts in this book, as food for thought:

• Prayer is about changing you, not about changing God. (page 102)
• We do not see things as they are; we see things as we are. (pg. 82)
• From inside experience, you know God’s love is a tender dance of give-and-take, rescue and holding. (pg. 51)

Reflect upon these statements today, and ask yourself:

• How is my prayer changing me?
• How do I see things in a certain situation?
• How am I experiencing God as an inside experience?
