Inner Life

Gosh. Got off on a philosophical, faith oriented jaunt the last few days. I think that’s passed for now.

We don’t talk much about our inner life, mostly we just experience it. We don’t often stop to consider how unique and precious that inner life is. That world, the universe, that lives inside of you is open to no one but you. The outside world sees its effects on you and makes inferences about it, but it stays hidden. For each of us.

Even when we try to talk about it, we often invoke, without intending to, the Heisenberg principle. We modify it as we talk, changing our inner experience as we describe it.

No one else has your particular store of experiences, your emotional responses, your accumulated store of knowledge. No one else has your biases, your prejudices, your fears. All unique to you. That’s why each person is so precious.

If you can, take some time today and consider the realm in which you alone can walk. It is a resource only you can use on behalf of the world. And the world needs your special take on it.
