Being more present creates a compelling awareness of a genuine resonance within my core. Moments are literally filled with opportunities of enlightenment. Subject matter with origins multiple millennia ago, intermeshed within generation after generation, touching all aspects of life.

Old leading to New, bringing us all to now.

Me especially.

There is nothing random, circumstantial or accidental about any of it. Coincidence perhaps. But only when defined as Mr. Einstein saw it.

In the Old Testament, Bishop Barron offered that one of the most important words used to describe God is the Judaic term “chesed”, meaning tender mercy. A loving kindness, representing active, steadfast love, mercy and grace. Compassion.

In the New Testament, God is described in the First Letter of John as “agape”, or simply, love. A love of the most highest form. Selfless, unconditional and charitable. To be given without any expectation of return. Willing the good of another.

Live fully, guided by a tender mercy that exudes love for another.

Build a life of compassion by willing the good of another.

An intention initially expressed thousands of years ago, producing a genuine resonance to the core today.

Garnered through presence. A most divine gift.

Old leading to New.

Bringing me to now.
