Without going to a dictionary I will proceed with my thought about 'context'. That word or what the word means has been on my mind (and on my finger) all of yesterday and until now. I was reminded how limited we are in our thinking without knowing our context. What I mean specifically is what we know about who we are, where we come from and where we can go depending upon our choices. Knowing that our mortal situation was made, dependent upon our choices in a pre-mortal state, makes everything different. It makes complaining about what 'God' did to us an excuse. It changes the way that we look at ourselves and this journey that with that context has specific purpose and meaning. And I was taught another thing that knowing context does to me. It makes me responsible, along with all of my 'enlightened' brothers and sisters responsible to let the other know who they are and why they are here. When I see the 'marvelous work' that we are a small part of that is designed for just that purpose it causes me to examine the very small role that I play, and how I am playing it. I connect to my 'star fish' theme and take some solace that I have 'made a difference' albeit a very small one. I am thrilled that there are so many who share this work and do it so much better then I do. Thank Heaver for wonderful and faithful brothers and sisters!
