Reflection

It has occurred to me only recently how important reflection is to the spiritual growth and maturation process. To look back and take time to learn from yourself what has been done properly and what needs to be modified. It is often hard to find the stillness which is of utmost importance to gain a true reflection. Too many times we do not take pause and make the attempt to reflect on the fly. This only results in choppy, incomplete. and distorted images from which to gain perspective. The impossibility of success in this kind of act is absurdly obvious from this vantage point but somehow absent in the heat of battle. May God grant me peace, moments of serenity, and the wisdom to reflect on my life and honestly assess where growth may be obtained.
