Carl, your article pretty much describes me. A group member said we have to have a strong ego to make it as we age. I responded that we need to shut down the ego as we age. He responded, “That may be true for mystics and I do not know any.” If I had read this post before, I would have responded. “I do not know about mystic, but I am speaking as a contemplative.”
I am in Rohr’s online School of Life and I have come up with my mantra for now. The first part is from my yoga; the second is from Francis of Assisi scholar, Jon Sweeney.
Put your head into your heart; put your heart into your feet.
