I plan to spend much of this day focused on simply being myself, meaning prayer and meditation on gratitude and love, things I can do readily during covid-19 isolation. Being disabled I find that if I focus on “doing” rather than “being” I am likely to be aware of what I cannot do or how slow I am. If, instead, I focus on being then my disability does not hamper me, as long as I accept it without fighting. I tend to be concerned that I will not be physically able to do what is asked of me and my meditation made it clear that I need not worry — just be Charlie. I can do that! “It requires even more discernment to discover whether the ministry called for from a particular individual in a particular instance requires prophetic speech, humble and hidden activities, bold and dramatic action, professional service or some, novel and previously unimagined course.” (Patricia Loring)
