When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

Pickax or Feather?


Since childhood we have been told that hard work equals success. Certainly we should always do our best, yet I think we can all point to someone, perhaps you have seen them in your mirror, whom have worked long and very hard yet have little materially to show for it. I will leave the secular discussion for another day, spiritually hard work and struggling to succeed in prayer in meditation are in fact counterproductive, impediments to growth. Successful prayer and meditation, which leads to successful demonstration, is quiet and gentle. To quote Emmet Fox, “Pray with a feather- not a pickax.” Though we may be filled with fear and trepidation, we should always pray in the manner we would like to be treated in, gently with kindness, patience, tolerance and love.
