This space...Thanks so much for your encouragement. This space has provided me with the avenue to jot down my reflections along the journey. It may or may not appeal to many who are still very much distracted by the 'noises' and 'seduction' of the world. Not that we are called to become hermits or monks up on the hill in some god-forsaken place but through living a simple life, one is able to sense with a higher degree of awareness, the life of Christ living in us.<br /><br />Actually becoming simple is not as easy as it seems. It is actually a very 'expensive' affair...some will say that it costs a lot to live this cheap!<br /><br />It is a constant journey to find God in life and be in union with Him. It is not a question of either renouncing the world and choosing Jesus. In the words of Merton, it is a "plain life as lived by a Christian...in a spirit of faith...it is Christ's life... When you eat breakfast, Christ is eating breakfast. When you go to work, Christ is going to work. When you meet your brother...Christ meets Christ."<br /><br />Again, I value your comments and look forward to your sharing your journey with this simple community.Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06275875135905335163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740064223443265592.post-48274684318706340982011-05-02T15:26:19.057-07:002011-05-02T15:26:19.057-07:00I am glad you are writing.
