And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:

A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Be patient ...

Be patient to all that is unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions like locked
rooms or books that are written in a foreign tongue.
The point is to live everything.  Live the questions now.
Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it,
live your way some distant day into the answers.
                - Ranier Maria Rilke      
     


What a reminder to simply be here now ...
and simply do the next right thing!
Its all pretty simple
 (notice I did not say easy)
if I do just that ... love what is before me at this moment
and leave the rest up to God!

 I read a poem many year ago that went something like this ....

God always answers prayer ...
the answers are yes, no,  or wait ...
and know that God always walks with you there!

I don't think I have learned to LOVE the questions,
but I have learned to live with them more precefully!
For that, I am most grateful!

What about you?

Love, Cate
