Detachment

I've been doing a lot of thinking and reading about detachment lately... God has most
certainly prompted me in this direction. I've heard His Voice telling me to sell all that you have and give it to the poor. I've heard it at Mass in the Gospel readings. I've felt Him nudge me toward specific books on the subject. And I've "known" to seek out spirtual advisors to help me learn more about detaching from the world. He is leading me down a path that is helping to fullfill a deep desire for inner peace and happiness. Detachment... not just from things, but from the need for approval from others, the need to be understood, the need to contol things that are out of my control, the need to have people act in ways that I think they should act. Detachment is a well-known practice of monks, but it can be our practice, too. I have found a limited number of resources on the subject, but maybe I have found enough of them to grow in peace, happiness, contentment, and joy. I will dedicate the next several postings to sharing what I am learning and experiencing regarding detachment. I hope that you find some freedom in your hearts and minds as you journey down this path with me. (Photo: The Philospher by Rembrandt)
