Today, on this first day of the new year, instead of focusing on all the categories of our life in which we feel we need to make progress, instead of a human accounting of all the ways in which we fear we are falling short, instead of planning for the future, focus instead on the awareness of Love right here. Feel the presence of a Love Thomas Merton defines as "mercy within mercy within mercy." Feel Love embracing your weaknesses, forgiving you, delighting in you. Feel Love teaching you who you are. Be still and feel Love--mercy within mercy--defining your relationships and goals--and as the impulse for your actions.
