Amnesia

 I tend to have “Spiritual Amnesia.”  It is a bit like forgetful sobriety for recovering persons.  I might have listened in meditation with my ears, but not with my heart.  That is, I did not get quiet enough within my own mind, to let anything reach the silence of the heart.  I can be somewhat helpless in a prayer of listening.  The results? I forget what I learned and used the last time I did listen from the heart.  But I trudge along each day, asking my God to lift my spiritual amnesia for this day.
