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 completed a PhD at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Previously, I taught for 20 years and spent the last 14 years teaching in an incrediable hybrid school setting. My dissertation topic and research were how teachers experience becoming who teachers, as human subjects. For me, teaching is a calling and vocation that allows me to express who I am as a person. Currently, I am waiting and listening to what will call me. We have begun a small consulting and leadership firm called Rocky River Leadership & Consulting Ltd.
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.
I am confident it will be. You are welcome.
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.
