The fundamentals of how we show up give witness to so much more than the facade we present.  Our bearing speaks volumes about the kind of state of mind we are in.  We tend to judge other’s bearing at the moment as the presentation of their whole selves all the time.  Yet, how many of us are our whole selves at every given moment.  We may do our best but our best will be different each day and sometimes within one given day. It saddens me to see how we are treating each other when we lambast someone for one action as if it has bearing on the whole of who they are and then treat them accordingly.  Yes, we are to be held accountable for our actions. Hopefully, we grow into the kind of reflective and introspective human beings such that we catch ourselves instead of just waiting for others to do it for us. Our bearing is a reflection of our state of mind and heart in the moment of action.  Often times the disconnection in our behavior is because of a lack of awareness of either our state of mind or heart or both not because our bearing means we always behave that way.  When we pause to notice our state of mind and heart we can gain some insight at the level of ability to change our manner of being.  God invites us to do this continually so we grow in relationship with ourselves and begin to get to know the intricacies of all that we are bearing to the world and to ourselves.  It can be a murky and dark path at first, but the more we bring God into it, the more light we will find.
