Jesus Is Our Fixed Point : the breadcrumbs are peace
If you ask a farmer how he ensures that he is plowing a straight furrow, he will give you this advice. Fix your eyes straight ahead, on some fixed point on the horizon — a tree prehaps — and keep moving steadily toward it. Don’t watch the furrow. Just keep your hands on the plow and your eyes on the fixed point. Margaret Self
peace
peaks midst rugged mountains
believable beacon righting
my philandering way
peace
scatters single-minded breadcrumbs
relaxed unruffled patient
equanimous courageous persistent
peace
releases me from surplus circles
striving for virtue
chasing the tale of righteousness
peace
frees me to heartily welcome
annoying shortcomings gifts
mine and yours
peace
trustworthy good
born within
bred without seeking
as Jesus said
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14.27)
therefore aimlessly i aim
for an ordinary life
gathering breadcrumbs
relaxed unruffled patient
equanimous courageous persistent
peace
peaking midst rugged mountains
believable beacon righting
my philandering way

The Philippians’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.
