Late Night Meditations Six

This meditation is based on an imagined dialogue where listening, thoughts and speaking merge. The theme is the difference and relationship between "being" and "doing". In an ideal world, what we do, comes harmoniously and directly out of who we are. But as we develop and change, our 'being' is part of a becoming that is influenced by what we do, or don't do, and other peoples' reactions to it. So, the tension and search for harmony continue. Will we ever understand, and will we ever achieve the perfect balancing connection between them? The author is Rev Canon Robin Morrison who retired as the Bishops's Adviser for Church and Society in the Church in Wales. He now writes novels and poetry as well as playing competitive table tennis, archery and croquet. He is married to the lovely Linda and has a wonderful daughter Jane, a son in law Christian, and two adorable grandchildren. So the wrestling with being and doing continues and finds ever new challenges!
