Immensity

 If you don’t have an immense desire for spirituality, I don’t know that you will ever get much beyond mediocrity.  OK, I speak for myself.  An addict knows immense desire for that next drink, fix, food, whatever the addiction.  Recovering people and holy people know what immense desire is.  Mediocrity is not a safe place to be for such people and therefore they are blessed to be addicted.  They know that half-measures, the spirituality of many of us “religious” people will end up for them losing everything.  But such a past can stay past if one can seek “immense” in their recovery and spiritual life.  If immense does not start for me early in the morning, then mediocrity usually runs my day, and that is not a safe place to dwell.
