Happy New Year!

I guess the first thing is to say Happy New Year. Hard to believe that it will be a month since Christmas this coming Sunday. The inauguration of the new President is tomorrow and people are still unsure of what to expect. But isn't that life. In terms of our day to day life we don't necessarily know what will be asked of us. When we look at our twofold nature we see that there is a constant and a variable, mirroring our spiritual and human natures. Sometimes life can be like a vortex and the variable can be frightening, seemingly spinning too fast. At other times life is plain sailing and we sense the constant of our soul.

As we venture into the next four years I am sure it is going to be an interesting ride, perhaps quite rocky at times. But one thing is for sure. We need to be constantly in touch with the constancy of our soul. It is the only game plan to have. Life is going to do what it is going to do, for good or bad, and we are going to have to see through it with a singleness of vision. Who is in charge? How many powers are there? Are we safe and secure beyond our human needs? We get to answer those questions in a new way for ourselves in these next four years. Whatever may come it will be grist for the mill of our spiritual practice. Who knows maybe we will even become masters during that time!
