Personal Guidance
Eating, sleeping, walking, bathing with the object of attachment binds the heart in countless threads. Shared ordinary life is the deepest cement of attachment — far deeper than dramatic moments. Notice with whom your ordinary life is shared.
Reflection Questions
  • Whose ordinary daily rhythms are you most deeply entangled with, and where is that leading you?
  • What ordinary rhythm could you share more deliberately with the Lord — eating, walking, sleeping?
