Seeking
peace-of-mind on a day like today is like trying to meditate with a car alarm
going off in your living room. And knowing
that the car may explode at any moment.
The words
of Richard Rohr, OFM,
are always good, but especially today:
“We project
our anxiety elsewhere and misdiagnose the real problem (the real evil), forever
exchanging it for smaller and seemingly more manageable problems. The over-defended ego always sees, hates, and
attacks in other people its own faults – the parts of ourselves we struggle to
acknowledge. Most of us do not see
things as they are; we see things as we are.”
