How To Have A Civil Discussion : for a more peaceful Thanksgiving
An excellent principle for daily life: if you hear something disturbing, assume the best and make sure you understand what’s being said. Jim Manney
assume
the best
discount
the rest
let curiosity
detect
good seed hid
behind foul speck
rather than resist
recoil
penetrate
annoying soil
bend to comprehend
dim view
of one who riles
repels you
mine for a mite
of holiness
to reconcile and
to bless

Jim Manney’s quote is found in today’s selection in An Ignatian Book of Days by Jim Manney is a series of daily reflections from the Spiritual Wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Throughout the book we hear the voices of St. Ignatius as well as many great thinkers and writers, long gone and present day, each uniquely revealing the way of finding God in all things. And that is my intention; to find God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality in whatever presents itself to me each day in 2024.
Each day I read, reflect and write on the selection, hoping to articulate the ways in which I come to know God/Divine Presence/Ultimate Reality via personal experience, impelled by the leading of my inner life.
