Meditation Moment

As painful as my addictions have been, they would have been even more painful had I not learned anything from them, but fortunately I have.

Sid Caesar, Caesar’s Hours

It seems to me that we are all experiencing an extended moment of clarity. A virus stalks our nation and the world. It shows no mercy and affects us all - regardless of race, gender, or social status. It is a painful time.

And it will be a more painful time if we do not learn anything from this collective suffering.

Today, breathe and ask God to enlighten us all. Teach us, O Lord, what you would have us learn during a season that disrupts our complacency, our patterns, our preferences; that threatens our sense of safety and security.
