Everyday I find my spirituality tested. It seems every driver and person at the grocery store has come out to bring a new circumstance that is designed to allow me to expand my definition of what it is to be spiritual…
But let’s be clear – being spiritual is NOT being a door mat. If it was, I would never make the cut. I think of my dear mother in law. She is a beautiful spiritual being (she is actually studying at a seminary…) and has never uttered the word no… my own mother once counseled her to explain her position with two words… FUCK OFF…. my mother in law could do nothing but giggle… she would NEVER!
I can not reconcile that being spiritual is synonymous with acceptance. I have a more self centered definition. Being spiritual, to me is causing no harm, especially to yourself. If you are always accepting whatever bullshit befalls you, then you are certain to harm yourself… You can’t just take shit and think you aren’t internalizing some of it.
Now if you have spent the last 8 months on a park bench in a meditative state of zen… maybe you can just let it roll off, but for those of us who are living a human existence… not so much…
