Of the many words spoken over the years it is often thought that some of them are very special, conveying very deep insight. People can tend to revere such words, feeling they hold significance something of cosmic proportions, revealing a deep understanding of the powers involved and of our tremendous responsibilities and role in the world. I, for myself, often feel blessed by having a relative lack of understanding of such words. Why do I say that? I think, in the end, it’s not the words, it’s our living expression of the character of Life moment by moment that makes the difference. These characteristics are immediately accessible from within. And thus I call my spirituality “practical spirituality.” It is in the doing, moment by moment, that the larger work gets done. If as part of the larger work, we need to access larger insights, deeper understandings, it will happen. We might say Life works on the principle of “need to know.” Do I need to know how all these different galaxies in the universe operate and fit together? Do I need to know how Life will proceed in a creative cycle over the next 50, 100, or 5000 years? I doubt it. I do need to know what I should be doing now, and in the next moment, and I need to know that in each of these moments I sow a seed for the future. As that is taken care of moment by moment, then whatever the next level of understanding is that I need in order to continue will be there.
