Thank you so much for the reminder! Being a perfectionist is often more of a burden to me, because it means I’m very productive yet, like you described, missing the personal relationships, especially the one with Jesus. We, too, have lost many dear ones and they are sorely missed. Thankful you were given such a wonderful gift prior to your friend’s passing and that you will see him again. 🙏🙏

Thank You, Joe. This was a beautiful and moving post. My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your friend 🙏

I am not well-versed in the Bible although growing up Catholic I was introduced and acquainted with much of the teachings therein. I love Jesus Christ and find that His teachings in A Course in Miracles resonate more with my inner life journey.

That said, your Mary and Martha message resonated with me. It is a Bible story that fits with my understanding that this is a world of duality and I experience that duality all the time in my mind and my perception of life. The ego self, caught up in the outside world of endless distractions and the spirit mind which God created and is always there as a quiet Voice beneath all the clamor and noise of the distractions. Every single day, I am aware of the quiet longing to devote my attention to the Mary side of it and every single day I get caught up in the Martha distractions. That I am even aware of this is something I am deeply grateful for ; )

As you said: A work in progress!

The key is…after a whole day (or a week or a year!) of Martha…I forgive myself and Choose Again ❤️
