"Summertime and the living is easy" are words from
a wonderful musical, "Porgy and Bess." There is a wonder-full
haunting melody that goes with those words which does the soul good. It pretty
well stops you in wonder, just as Summer is supposed to do. I am just speaking
of the ideal here. Reality is something completely different as we well know.
For the millions that find peace, freedom, spiritual enlightenment, refreshment,
rejuvenation, there are millions more living out the tragedy that is, the human
condition. We are challenged to live within an inclusive lens. There is the
great temptation to think our little world, and the little vision that comes
with that, is all there is. We must work on developing an attitude of gratitude
for the gifts, that are always gifted, in the sacrament of the now. There is no
moment that in some way we are encountering the self revelation of The Mystery,
God, and a gracious God at that. As we are unique by reason of our creation, we
are also unique through grace, in our relationship with The Great Spirit.
