Openness
I found there was a need to hold myself
open to receive all that it is possible to learn.
I sat for hours in seminars at ancient
abbeys, underwent retreats where many people sit together in silence and
retreats with very few people whose fervent discussions seemed to alter
my perceptions of the outside world.
My mentor sent me hither and thither to
learn from many disciplines, and I learned all I could. I learned about
techniques of prayer and of meditation. I was told that to truly find
myself I must first lose myself I must learn how to encourage the
silence of waiting.
And once I have found my true self, they
said, I will be able to remake myself in the image of a perfect being.
But the search might take me all my life, they warned me...
