Let it go - live yourself now, for that is the reality. Do it with a little help from that which is always there; it is ready when you are. It is true. Sooner or later, when we are ready, the help comes. Grace lives, even here, even now. FK
A quick one today because I am late, late, late; a few days ago, I read famous inspirational speaker Eckhart Tolle who tells us, "just let go. Be in the now." But how hard that is! Then, when in anxious turmoil last night, I read Father Thomas Keating. In this passage he DOES tell us to let go - to let God do it when it is beyond rational control - but he also adds, "but this can be the most difficult thing. If you center yourself though and become open, God will help you if you are ready. It might be a phone call, it might be a book..." And he was right. It was HIS book.
Let it go - live yourself now, for that is the reality. Do it with a little help from that which is always there; it is ready when you are. It is true. Sooner or later, when we are ready, the help comes. Grace lives, even here, even now. FK

about the authorAll right, already, I'll write something: I was born in 1954 and had mystical tendencies for as long as I can remember. In high school, the administrators referred to me as "dream-world Keogh." Did too much unnecessary chemical experimentation in my college years - as disclosed in my book about hitching in the 70's, Dream Weaver (available on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes and Noble and Nook). (Look also for my book of essays, Beneath the Turning Stars, and my novel of suspense, Hurricane River, also at Amazon). Lived with Amazon Indians for a few years, hiked the Sierra Madre's, rode the bus on the Bolivian highway of death, and received a PhD in anthropology for it all in 1995. Have been dad, house fixer, editor and writer since. Fascinating, frustrating, awe-inspiring, puzzling, it has been an honor to serve in life. Archives
