TOUCHSTONES - MEDITATION FOR MEN FOR SEPTEMBER
Sunday, September 1, 2013
You are reading from the book Touchstones If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe. —Carl Sagan Everything is given to us. Our lives came forth with no plan on our part. We have no lease on life and no control, ultimately, over any possession. In the addictive and codependent families most of us came from, we learned something else. We learned a lonely arrogance that said, "I should be self sufficient. I have earned everything that ever came to me." Deep down we probably knew how untrue that was, and we felt great self-doubt. The cure we learn in this program for our lonely arrogance is a miracle and a blessing. We accept that we are part of a larger whole. Now it dawns on us - all of our friends and relatives share this basic powerlessness. We are all pilgrims. We are all guests. We are all stewards of creation. We can be close, and we must help one another because everyone is equally vulnerable. I am grateful to my Higher Power today for the life, which has been given me. I pray for greater understanding of my responsibilities.
