Who are we? What are we about? We have to take Remembrance-Recognition-Reorientation breaks from time to time to regroup, recharge, and get back on the beam.
It is easy to lose our way amid the complexity and confusion of the day-to-day. There is so much coming at us from all directions, it is easy to drift off into robot responses to what is being asked of us, and we have to get back in the groove of here, now and what’s what.
So, “Who are we? What are we about?” refocuses us on the essential matters of being who we are, doing what is ours to do, here, now in each situation as it arises, no matter what, all our life long.
What we are about is what we do best and enjoy doing most in bringing ourselves forth to meet what’s coming here, now, every day. Who we are is our original nature, our innate intuition, our intrinsic imagination, and our inherent virtues (The “do best and enjoy most” aspects of ourselves).
Living with our eye on those things enables us to meet each aspect of every day as they need to be met with what we have to offer each situation as it arises–and that is the most anyone can hope to do 12/7/12/forever.
