We seem to stand in contradiction to ourselves a lot. Perhaps it is the dual nature of the universe in which we live or the way we are not capable of understanding the denial we are in when we are in it. We vacillate between wanting our privacy to screaming at the top of our lungs that we need to be heard.  We anonymously hide behind names and organizations with some sort of groupthink while begrudging them for not having more of our individual interests in mind. We are like vessels that leak their true intentions while behaving and thinking in a completely opposite manner.  It is mind-boggling how we manage to create peace among each other with all the leaking going on.  God invites us to know the truth of our own hearts and seek peace with our duality.  By accepting the various and ever-changing nature of our existence within ourselves we find peace.  When we learn to make peace with the whole of who we are body and mind we are less in need of seeking it outside of ourselves.  We develop compassion for the leaks from others that make them seem like hypocrites.  We learn our of our fragile nature when we carry the expectations of others and ourselves.  All the ways we witness the leak stemming from the duality of life remind us to not take it personally.  Of all the tools I learned and aim to live in recovery strengthened on my daily dates with God, not taking myself so seriously is a gem.  Life is full of duality and there will be leaks even when we are certain its a sealed and secure.  A river does not leak from the mountain, it flows.  The waves do not leak onto the shore they share their gift of rhythm with the sand.  The leaks of our lives and invitations to notice the air leaking in and out of us all day long as a way to return to the heart of who we are.
