Too Busy

Whatever sound it is, the alarm tolls on Monday morning and we are free from our relaxed self of the weekend ritual of frolicking emptiness of little fulfillment. Nothing we have heard in our Mosque, Synagogue, or Church has stayed with us longer than the time it has taken for us to walk to our cars after leaving the portals of faith that have had little effect in our lives. We are consumed by the vacuum constructed by the falseness in our lives that has been built by our lack of time to really connect with God in true prayer.

We are often too busy to connect to our conscience, the honesty of our true self, you know, the one that belongs to God. Listen, it speaks to you, it is your voice of reason, your voice of love. All the loving events of your life are the results of the reasons drawn by your conscience, the loving conscience that God gives us. This is the relationship that is everlasting life, everlasting loving life.

Stop being too busy to let your contemplative life begin and let God in. Let God form your relationship with your family and friends. Let God, in your contemplative life, draw you closer to Him, and closer to your family through love, through kindness, through understanding of what true life is about.

We just think we are creatures of habit because society demands that we be this way. Our professions demand that we be too busy to be creatures of love. I was in the business world, and then transformed myself into being a teacher, and I loved being a teacher. I loved my students and treated my students with love. But education was my job, and with this job, and many times, with this job, even though I loved it, I was too busy for life.

Now I know that I can never be too busy fora what is important. God wants me to Love. So as often as I can, and that means as often as I can remember at my age, I reach out in Love to all I know. I reach out to family to say I love you; I reach out to neighbors to say I love you; I reach out to friends to say I love you; I reach out to those I meet on my walks and say I love you. Each morning and each night I tell God I love you.

I am never too busy.
