Re: [Oe List ...] [Dialogue] A Witness at Christmas
Dear Dahrma, So glad to hear your witness to life on behalf of the order. These are the times to which we say ????????????? A.M. Noel +1646-939-1273 On Sat, Dec 25, 2021 at 9:42 PM Dharmalingam Vinasithamby via Dialogue < dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:
"We have been on a journey away from ourselves" - this phrase from a version of the Daily Office has stayed in my mind over the years. I am impressed by how apt the words are.
I feel this in myself. I do not maintain my journal as I used to. The dialogue I have with myself in the full light of consciousness is something I've done less and less. It's only when I think of it and miss it that I realise the change, how much I have neglected the interior life.
I've often thought of my companions in the Order/ICA as only part of the past. But now I realize that it's your company, even when only imagined, that keeps me conscious of the interior world. The journey we began has not ended, and if we think about it, we can take heart from the knowledge that all of us, fellow travellers, are still on the road.
