We don’t often think of much when we enter into a room. We might pay attention because we have to open a door or go through a hallway to get where we want to go. We take for granted that we need to enter into buildings or homes to reach our destination. Our entering is a step into getting where we want to go. If there is one thing we focus on in western culture is where we are going. More attention seems to be paid to where we are going then where we are. It is the focus on the doing instead of the being. But as we enter into our day or enter into a room it signifies a beginning. Within these beginnings are the moments of pause to ready ourselves to where we are being. The entrances are the space in between where we were and where we are going. When we put ourselves into what we are entering into we can ready our hearts and minds to be in alignment with who we are being. It is not always what lies on the other side of that door, it is more about who we are being as we are entering into the room. Our experience of what happens in the room or the other side of the entrance is dependent on who we are entering in as.
My prayer for us is the willingness to notice who we are being as we are entering the rooms and areas of our lives today.
