Too much! Do you ever feel like a sponge that can no longer take on any more water? You are at full capacity? We take on burdens of the world, of ourselves, of others. We are worried about today and tomorrow and have a pile of tasks and unmet expectations knocking at our door.
In this episode we will try and squeeze out all of these burdens, worries, judgements, and expectations so we can come back to that place inside of us that is still, whole, and at peace.
Our listening portion today is from Thomas Keating, an amazing contemplative Catholic monk who passed away several years ago.
This Presence is so immense, yet so humble; awe-inspiring yet so gentle; limitless, yet so intimate, tender and personal. I know that I am known. Everything in my life is transparent in this Presence. It knows everything about me – all my weaknesses, brokenness, sinfulness – and still loves me infinitely. This Presence is healing, strengthening, refreshing – just by its Presence. It is nonjudgmental, self-giving, seeking no reward, boundless in compassion. It is like coming home to a place I should have never left, to an awareness that has somehow always there, but which I did not recognize.
Thomas Keating, Open Mind, Open Heart
