Recently I went to Spirit Rock Meditation Center searching for God. After years of searching inside holy books, places of worship, and time spent conversing with pious men, She was nowhere to be found. My goal was to commune with Her; I hoped to assuage the final vestiges of fear that I’d carried for much too long. Fear that was burned into my seven-year-old psyche one Friday night at a good ole’ fashioned tent revival.

“On day three, I’d had enough of his ass, but realized I had zero control over my thoughts. Then I realized I had no idea who was thinking the thoughts. Or exactly how many were inside my head.” Now that was funny. Laugh out loud like a crazy person funny. And one of the most honest descriptions of what can go on inside the mind of the mentally unstable (that’s yours truly) when trying to be still. Oh my gosh. Really. Thank you. I haven’t made it on retreat yet but lemme tell you, just sitting here in my own home meditating for all of 20 minutes while trying to get “Snoop Dog” to go elsewhere is brutal most days. Your post truly gives me hope. Bless you. And the mosquitos. Nah, scratch the mosquitos. I live in the south. They’re brutal. But bless you anyway.
