Crazy Like Me

I sit in a room at 7:00 AM, meditating with a bunch of guys who have struggles with the everyday life of people, events, and places.  I feel very comfortable with these guys.  When I meditate with a bunch of priests, nuns, parish regulars, heavyweight searchers for spiritual depth, I find myself saying, "I am out of my league here."  If these people only knew what goes through my mind!  But with these guys, early in the morning, I feel at home.  They are all crazy like me.  I think it is a great blessing to find such people.  There is acceptance and hope.  We are all trying.  If you can find a group on a spiritual path, who accept you just as you are, this is a blessing.
