Tuesday on Wednesday?
It is Wednesday and my soul is feeling that it might be a good day to revisit the book Tuesdays with Morrie. From time to time excerpts from Morrie’s life can serve as a means for deepening our journey inward. Today we find Morrie in the final stages of ALS. His interviewer, Mitch Albom, listens as his dying professor spends some time on “the ultimate questions, the ones that won’t go away.”
“That’s the thing, you see. Once you get your fingers on the important questions, you can’t turn away from them.” Mitch asks, “And which are the important questions?” The professor continues, “As I see it, they have to do with love, responsibility, spirituality, awareness. And if I were healthy today, those would still be my issues. They should have been all along.”
Take time with the ultimate values both in your work and in your relationships. As we each do this, deep praise will rise up from within our souls.
Prayer: God of my life and all life, guide me as I struggle to reflect on the important questions throughout this day.
