Dear Huston [Smith], It was wonderful seeing you. But when you said, when asked about your health, “The citadel is crumbling,” it had a profound effect on me. . . . And when, in touch with that all-pervasiveness [Spirit], I hear that the citadel of dearest Huston is crumbling, it is simply as it is, just so, and all is still right, and all is still well, and all is still good, and all still radiates the unending glory that we all are. ~Ken Wilber
A profound statement of faith, of understanding the way life is within the awareness that spirit is ever present. Even as the citadel crumbles, this is the word that transforms: life is good, my life is received, the past is approved, and the future is open. This is the grace that amazes, the truth that sets us free. ~jpc
Namaste.

Sounds like John Quincy Adams when asked how he was doing- something like the body isn't doing so well but John Quincy Adams is doing great. Something like that. Yes it is a statement of faith.
I do understand. Today the Citadel walls have crumbled all around me. It would take me a week to tell you what happened in this one day. Still...the future is open and I am encouraged.
On a cold, snowy day, with lots of signs of a crumbling citadel all around, this affirmative word from out of our shared past does still offer an uplifting word. Gratitude abounds.
