Friday the 13th was an awesome day!!
I love Friday the 13th. I’ve always felt it was my lucky day. And today was no exception.
I’ve been wrestling with a particular spiritual issue and trying to solve it by applying intellect to it. One of the great cosmic jokes I’m particularly fond of is that spiritual problems just don’t respond to “figuring it out.” But figuring it out is what my mind loves to do!
So since my mind is mine, and changing it is a process, (losing it is an option!) — and I’ve grown fond of my mind with all its habits and ego — I’ve learned that I can pray too. And I’ve also learned that prayer takes time, practice, listening, and patience.
Today, this prayer was answered. A moment of clarity so powerful that the energy just lit me up with joy. A beautiful “A-HA”, a click, and then a rush of gratitude.
And to put the icing on this gift, it happened in the morning while I was reading, so I got to savor it all day. Writing about it now the electricity has my hair standing on end.
I’ve experienced a few of these powerful moments, and they are always life-changing. I wonder what the life-change that will evolve from this moment will be.
