A Meditation:
Realization is a process of recognizing the real. It means repeated experiences of knowing. It means integration of those experiences.
Thatched roofs, mud-daubed roofs, tar paper roofs, asphalt and shingle roofs- roofs are so ubiquitous, who even notices them? The ones who have no roofs do!
To feel the roof over our heads every day is to realize the privilege of being sheltered. Any sense of gratitude for such shelter is only real if we act on it. To step under the roof would then become an act of thanks, as well as a deep awareness of the despair that homelessness of any kind must be.
Could we find ways to be part of the answer?
