Public Wearing

 When I walk around the streets of San Francisco or on public transport, I can wear my clerical collar.  I identify as a “clergy person.”  But that is just outside stuff.  Without a spiritual life of some depth, I have but an “outside” appearance.  I want my insides to reveal what I am supposed to believe.  The insides will reveal themself according to my prayer life.  If I am in touch with a spiritual power that I believe dwells within, this will be revealed the way I am with others, especially people I do not know.  Are those around me, or in a meeting or on a bus, strangers or are they part of myself?  Meditation points outs my shortcomings that make people remain strangers, but then can give me the power to treat them as part of myself.
