Reprieve

 I like the phrase, “Daily Reprieve.”  Whenever I think I have arrived at some spiritual depth, I must remind myself, first, that this is an ego trip and second, keep doing the daily practice.  My ego says, “I have arrived.”  I no longer have to do whatever I did to get here.  I have come to find this is a disastrous way of thinking.  Actually, in this case all thinking is the wrong road.  The mind plays tricks, but the heart knows.  Listen to the heart.  It tells me that I am on shaky ground and must continue to do my daily practice whatever that might be.  Insanity is to think I am better than I am.  I have but a daily reprieve from insanity.  I am having a good day.  Continue to practice the spiritual path.
