RB and My Reflections. Oh My!

I have to say that now that I've taken on the honor of writing daily reflections for the Lay Cistercians of Gethsemani Forum, has provided much more joyful than I thought it would be. Instead of fretting about whether to do it or not, I just said, yes I 'll do it.

Interestingly enough, one person wrote a very kind letter to me and said that it was impossible to fully digest one reflection a day, that he was printing them out and saving them for his personal lectio. That is truly flattering to me, but we all know that all good things come from God, so to God be the glory. Whether or not people think I'm a good writer does not matter to me any longer, in the slightest bit. That some people do seem to think I does please me, or I would not be a human being, and Lord, what a naughty human being I can be.

I put out a letter to the Forum readership today and hopefully they will answer. Not every one has to read what I write, but if only a few are reading then why not just make a small mailing list and not mail it to an entire forum of people.

The more I think about this idea of writing a daily reflection on the rule, the better I like it. Think personally how much more deeply I can enter the RB. It has always been a difficult text for me. The only way for me to really enter it, is to write about it, draw parallels into my life or the life of the LCG.

Oh well, hopefully they will answer, and then we shall see!
