alone for most of my adult life and
that I was secluded from the church
for nearly thirty years
The bishop asked me
how is now living in community going for you
Good
I answered
He asked
and what is difficult
I answered
as with any family
accepting the peculiarities
and idiosyncrasies of the people
Later while in meditation
I recalled this conversation
and the Spirit spoke
She asked me
what was most difficult
My heart cried out
being humble
To which my mind added
our complaints
are the children of our arrogance
To which my soul replied
our arrogance fathers all our transgressions
Through her laughter Spirit said
oh my
so many children being fathered
by one who's pursuing chastity
