It is important for me to remember that although I am gathering a great number of wonderful tools, they are infinitesimal in comparison to the infinite number of spiritual tools that exist, have existed and will exist. I can barely pray. My meditations are filled with thoughts of breakfast, lunch and dinner. My body won’t stretch into full lotus, and these are the few methods of growth and awareness that I know to practice. There is much to learn from each and every religion, movement and spiritual practice. I know only a little. I must watch for signs of bigotry and doubt regarding anyone else’s beliefs, or disbeliefs. Rather than shunning someone else’s stand, I must open my heart to the notion that before me stands my greatest teacher, if I but have ears to hear, eyes to see, and shut my mouth.
