During the lodge last night I said “I don’t understand what is going on, I am confused and I’m good with that”. The fact is that much of my life is quite uncertain and up in the air, so I live very much in the present. I get fairly clear guidance about what the next right action is and then take that action, frequently without knowing why. My actions are based firmly on faith and love. This way of life requires a lot of non-attachment and the absence of ego. Attachment, along with the associated emotions, or ego involvement make it impossible for me to stay in the present. This way of life has also required a good deal of training and discipline, but it is exciting and the outcome is usually very good for all involved.
