Reading Paul Pearson’s “Spiritual Direction from Dante: Avoiding the Inferno”
It is taking me longer than I desire. It is quite the struggle to quiet the mind and ponder the words that pierce my soul almost every page. Finally, at 68, I am getting it. There were many things I figured out early, but the simmering anger has taken longer to understand. Years, in fact, to glean understanding in regards to the toxicity of the relationship with my mother. Had I realized that you can’t give something you don’t have enough of to share, I perhaps would have been more understanding.
Today, I continue preparing for tomorrow’s little gathering to celebrate birthday and anniversary with friends and family. Join us in the backyard here at the house. Mass is at 10, and let the grilling begin around 1. Horseshoes, volleyball, cornhole toss, croquet, and good conversation and food.
Know you are prayed for.
