Years ago I had a first glimpse of what this obedience meant but it was a kind of mindless passivity that invited me to simply flow with the breezes of life. Sounds not so great but it worked. Then at a certain point, when I was facing major surgery and had just discovered Centering Prayer, that mindless passivity evolved into an invitation to mindful receptivity. This has been evolving for 20+ years, very slowly and happily. The sentence “Nos seeking anything, ready to receive” seems to sum it up.
