BE STILL AND KNOW
WRITTEN BEFORE EASTER IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC
Be still and Know (Psalm 46:10). And I am not saying that by being still we will be ready to know - no. Just by being still we will know.

When our consciousness becomes a still mirror, a still lake, a silent reservoir of energy, God is reflected in it. We will not attain to knowledge, remember. We will become wise, we will become a Jesus. We will not become a great scholar, a great pundit, a great theologian or a philosopher. We will be a Jesus. We will have an innocent kind of knowing: we will know how to live, we will know how to die, we will know how to love - we will know the real art of life.
