Open

Deep knowing and presence do not happen with our thinking minds. To truly know something, our whole being must be open, awake, and present.
                                           —Richard Rohr

What does it mean to be open? The first opening that we learn in life is an opening of our minds. [not everyone learns this, some live their lives with closed minds.]

But beyond opening our minds, there is an opening of the heart. There is an opening of everything inside of us to pay attention to life and to learn.

How am I opening my entire self to life and to God? To others? To learning?

Auto pilot living is easy. It is cookie cutter. Opening one's self to growing and expanding isn't always easy, but it is beautiful.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
