I am reminded that Jesus called his followers while they were in the midst of their ordinary, routine, and maybe boring lives. Hmmm. I seem to go on the attitude that if I have this extraordinary prayer life, God will contact me, like I am so open. And when I am busy with stuff, the mundane, God won’t bother. Or I am too busy to notice God. Well, I have it all wrong. God is in the ordinary. Will I be open to this? Guess not. So, I won’t give up my meditation times, but I have to expand my awareness energy in the mundane. This means the ego, which is all about accomplishments and success in tasks, needs to not be so central. While I am accomplishing things, I need to be open to something new, an insight, an energy for new direction, God Power. How to do that? I don’t have the answer. I guess it is surrender time inside and outside my active prayer life. Not easy, but necessary.
