“View time and space as they come to you in the form of problems, experiences, and relations. Look at the perpetual current of emotions and thoughts that arise within you. Go into the heart of your aspirations, dreams, hopes, and despairs. Dive deep into the mute cravings of your inner self. Life is manifesting itself through all these channels and demanding that you seek understanding with your highest intelligence, wisdom, love, and vision.” I came across this quote from Paramahansa Yogananda at this more than interesting time of my life. From this life scholars class I would have never been exposed to the environment of aging that I experienced at the senior center. There are people like Professor Nancy Quawk who brought to my attention how needy, vulnerable and important we are to each other. An assumption I needed to turn into belief- that I took for granted and really didn't digest what we are to one another. This LCS course is building further on my exposure and attitudes of our human condition and my place in this.I am looking at all the events I am involved with, (when I can remember) and using the quote as a rubric, a map to manage my affairs, my emotions, and responses to these opportunities. My fellow LCS sisters, cohorts are divine gifts. The photo I included is a painting Im taking inspiration from as my sisters in the LCS class. Each as a gift to share.
