The Divine Leftover ~ Robert Hardies

"We also remember when we take time to worship, meditate, pray, or practice whatever spiritual discipline it is we practice. You know that I agree with the Muslims and with our Unitarian Universalist ancestors that at the centre of us is a spark of the divine leftover from our creation. But so many things conspire to make us forget that spark. Our egos. Our pride. Our fear. Our beltway commute. Remembering takes intentionality. In prayer or mediation we sit in silence and strip away all the superficial layers that smother our authentic selves. In silence, when our hearts and heads are clear, we remember........ 'We have forgotten who we are. We ask for forgiveness. We ask for the gift of remembering. We ask for the strength to change.'"
