Sunday Reflection: The In Between

People have rituals that help them get through this crazy thing we call life. How we prepare for the situations that seem to arise is different and diverse as we are.

For me its church, religious studies, blogging, making connections, consuming media, spending time with family and friends. It’s important to have a sense of what is going on so that I can be aware of the changes that seem to come fast. Every day is different, so you got to be ready for that too.

There is waking to the Sunrise to do our days activities whatever that might be. Then there is retiring to rest after a long day of doing things that require our attention. Then there is the stuff in-between. What happens then? It’s up to each of us to figure that out.

Everything is about living in those times where we are preparing for the great feast that is life. It means getting dressed for the things to come. In this situation clothes matter. Whether they be divine garments or more earthly wear. You need to prepare.

What do you do to get ready? How do you live in the in-between?
