Partnership

I come into my own through God.  God comes into God’s own through me.  Same God, same deal.  That said, a lot of time and effort is made trying to come into my own by other means.  I like the analogy Anthony DeMello uses on this point.

“It’s like imagining that you change your handwriting by changing your pen.  Or that you change your capacity to think by changing your hat. That doesn’t change you really, but most people spend all their energies trying to rearrange their exterior world to suit their tastes.  Sometimes they succeed – for about five minutes – and they get a little respite, but they are tense even during that respite, because life is always flowing, life is always changing.”

There are two constants in the partnership.  One is a bit more steady than the other.
