I have been contemplating the oscillation back-and-forth between progress and regress. I am viewing it as orbits around the center. My goal is to reduce my orbit to smaller and smaller circles so that my oscillation doesn’t take me so far from Center each time. Does that make sense? It's a different perspective of circular vs a straight back and forth line. It represents seasons. Every time you orbit you naturally draw closer, like a lap around a funnel.
During my golf meditation this morning, I found/retrieved several “orphaned” golf balls along the course, from a creek, under rocks, etc. Nothing wrong w/the balls, just lost or discarded. So I took the time and effort to stray from MY course, pick them up, clean them off, and put them back in play. And then it hit me: that’s a poignant metaphor for what God has done in/for me, and now what I can do for others. He doesn’t leave us in the shadows, weeds, rocks, or drowning in the creek. Let’s be on the lookout for the lost/discarded/orphaned peeps and do whatever we can to get them back on (the) course!
The spiritual life is like origami in reverse. We simply let the beauty unfold to reveal the Truth that keeps on Truthing! " The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. " - The Bible, book of Psalms chapter 119 verse 130
