"The spiritual life is about becoming more at home in your own skin." - Parker Palmer
I am blessed to teach classes where people want to explore their spirituality. I have come to believe that one aspect of our spirituality is being fully authentic. When we are integrous, authentic, vulnerable, and transparent, we are our best selves, we are spiritual.
I have experienced the spiritual holding the hand of our special needs daughter. I have experienced the spiritual listening to the birds on an early spring morning. I have seen the spiritual in the dust that sunlight pours through, letting me know miracles are real.
"In the world to come, they will not ask me, 'Why were you not Moses?'
They will ask me, 'Why were you not Zusha?'"
- Zusha of Hanipoli
Our primary spiritual task is to be all God created us to be. We do not need to aspire to be like someone else. We only need to be all that we were designed to be. Our spirituality resides in our authenticity.
