hmmm…..
I received an email this morning that read: “i have been with me all day. i have not been good company.” Do you ever have days like that when, wherever you go, there you are? It’s like we find ourselves having a bad day, but have no one to blame but ourselves.
It’s easy to fill our days with busyness and other people. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, so that is not much of a problem. But taking the time to go inward and really spend time just with ourselves is not so easy.
Today marks the beginning of the Passion story of Jesus Christ. It is traditionally the day that Jesus shared his last meal with his disciples and the day he predicted that he would be betrayed. So, today is also a good day to begin to spend some time in quiet meditation about what our lives are like and how we would like them to be. Being with ourselves for a while can be dangerous – sometimes we are not good company - we aren’t especially kind to ourselves. And when we are already lonely, it can be almost painful.
That’s the time to remember that really, we are never alone. Our Spirit is always there to guide us, direct us and share with us whatever is causing us discomfort or pain. So take some time today to spend with that divine spirit that resides in each of us. Be with yourself – be in good company.
