Father Richard Rohr wrote an excellent meditation this morning. He wrote about discovering the self and all day his words came back into my quiet moments. I am tired, but I feel more awake now, because there is something exciting in being lost.
Discover self–
Imperfect, unrefined;
Genuine, real–
Not hidden;
Unvarnished, vulnerable.
Happiness appears;
Refuge
Falsehoods recede–
Ever so slowly,
Spirit wakens–
Revitalized and awake.

About ivonprefontaine
I am a retired educator who is currently completing a PhD. Prior to teaching, I worked in private industry for 15 years and returned to university to earn my education degree. For the last 17 years I taught, I was a teacher in a unique, progressive, alternative educational school of choice. Currently, I am engaged in a doctoral program at Gonzaga University in Spokane. My dissertation topic is how teachers experience becoming who they are as teachers, as human subjects.
A poem with minimal words however their effect and importance is emphasised by the few words used. Thanks for sharing.

Very powerful words Ivon. It takes courage to discover oneself this way but the reward will be there. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice blog, Ivon! Thanks for following my blog.🙂
Thank you and you are welcome.
Self discovery is the beginning of discovery of the whole…an entering in to the wider sentience of being. Lovely feeling in this.
It is the beginning of a journey as opposed to a destination at the end.
