Today a rabbi came to our church and spoke.
She talked about the concept of a spark of divinity within each of us.
That I had always believed in, but it was a good reminder.
I am feeling a bit restless today. I think it’s because I am due to speak tomorrow at NUS. It’s my first dhamma talk and I think the deck is good, it’s just, I dunno. Mercury retrograde things perhaps? I’m not sure.
In any case, I thought I’d let it out here. After all, I’d shot myself in the foot a little by saying something a bit terse in a group chat. I blame the hot weather, but really I should blame myself.
But I forgive myself.
In the spirit of Hari Raya, I shall say, “Maaf zahir dan batin” to myself. I forgive myself inwardly and outwardly.
Daughter, your sins have been forgiven you.
Amen.
