Every problem, every crisis, no matter what it may look like, is a crisis of faith. . . . I wonder whether Americans are psychologically healthy enough for the spiritual journey. It seems they must feel good about themselves all the time! How far can you go on the spiritual journey if you must feel good about yourself all the time? ~Fr. Murray Rogers, “The Passing of a Dear Elder,” Human Kindness Foundation’s A Little Good News, Spring 2007, via LLC
It’s quite okay to feel bad about yourself on the journey. It’s quite okay to experience the dark night of the soul. Feeling good about yourself is not required to have faith. ~jpc
It’s very good to know we’re on the journey no matter how we feel. Namaste.
