Thank you for this. On my journey, I’ve also found to be helpful: https://www.amazon.ca/Jean-Pierre-De-Caussade/e/B000APA7US/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1The Sacrament of the Present Moment: A Classic Jesuit Masterwork on Spiritual Enlightenment and Abandonment to God.

I hadn't thought of the Lord's Prayer in this way, but I think you're onto something. Someone taught me that the original Aramaic of the prayer translates to something closer to, "lead me not into forgetfulness, but deliver me from unripeness" which I think really speaks to what you are saying about presence and letting things unfold in God's timing. I think the book Prayers of the Cosmos talks about the Aramaic version of the Lord's Prayer.

That was so nourishing, I live in constant anxiety! Knowing that you have this diagnosis and can surrender like this gives me so much hope and mystifies me…. How would I live in your situation? 😢You truly are tethered to the divine!

A beautiful reminder, Tyler. I relate so much: chronically ill mother & bapticostal rapture cult, etc. left me forever scared, scarred, and ready to leave and Everything with a sense of URGENCY. i.e. third Substack Note with coffee? Um...yes?

Cuz we may not have tomorrow, smh Ty for sharing your beloved heart.
