Summary of Ordinary Life for January 14, 2024

Dear Ones -

This week I invited Dr. Holly Hudley to dialogue with me about the new theme I’m introducing for this year -

Living in the Sacred Stream

In order for the stream to maintain its identity, it must keep moving. You can’t put the stream in a bucket and take it home. This reality is discomforting to some. A fact is, however, that all good teaching is disruptive. Every single items that gives us comfort and pleasure is the result of someone at some point being uncomfortable with the way things were. An additional discomfort comes with the awareness that we do this spiritual work with no idea of getting something out of it. However, if we do get into the stream with such a mindset, the payoff is tremendous.

We called the time -

The Wisdom of Discomfort

That’s a brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.

Our podcast, “In Between,” can be accessed through the Ordinary Life web site.
