Dying and Rising All Day Long
By becoming aware of the images I project onto others, I see how I am plagued by the things I detest within myself.
I am a Mennonite in the Christian faith tradition who has found affinity with historical and current contemplatives in the broader Christian (and sometimes non-Christian) faith tradition. These contemplatives were known as Mystics. I have longed to run off to a monastery, to be in solitude with books and God and others who felt the same way. But I am called to be in this world, in my small corner, in all its messiness, working to make it a better place for all creation.
