If someone had asked why I was walking at 7:30 this morning, my ready answer was, “To seek the will of God; and I don’t care how long it takes me to find it.” To meditate, to pray, to seek the will of a Higher Power is the eleventh of the 12 steps. It is a tenent of Faith; as is asking for the energy to carry through on the guidance received.
What did I mean, exactly, by the phrase, “I don’t care how long it takes me to find it?” Am I really patient enough to plod onward, composed and serene for an undefined period of time? Or was I subconsciously thinking, “Take your time God. I’m in no hurry to know your will. I’m not done mucking about here, not quite ready to focus on moving forward?”
What I intended, was that I was prepared to walk until I got clarity. I was hoping for clarity for a lifetime. What I got was clarity for a day. Perhaps that is enough.
