When things are going well there is a natural tendency to slack off a
touch in our spiritual work. The sun is shining, the clouds decorating a
peaceful sky, perfect for watching lying on a soft bed of grass, peace
immanent. Life is good. We enjoy these times but must remain wary of
complacency. Like the athlete who trains daily for the occasional
competitions, we pray and meditate daily to keep our connection to the
Divine fresh and open for the inevitable storms that visit every life.
Living on the Spiritual Basis we now understand the rain falls on the
just and the unjust equally, it is not punishment, it is just life. Living on the
new basis today when a storm comes we gently step back into the shadow
and shelter of the Almighty, out of the wind and rain, continuing to
pray and meditate until the storm passes and the sun returns. Having
embraced eternity we understand the truth of being, that behind every
cloud, the sun still shines.
