Alignment is not some romantic notion of harmony and lack of strife in one’s life. It is utterly serious; being nothing less than the complete giving over of oneself to the Higher Power, of total trust in the Way. “The Way” is not my way or your way, nor is the province of someone’s philosophy or teaching. It is the moment by moment revelation in each person’s life of what needs to be done, and even more importantly perhaps, of how this needs to be done. The willingness to meet the naked intelligence of creation with fullness, grace, and gratefulness, makes one’s life supremely and uniquely meaningful. It is the most precious gift that one can offer to one’s community, one’s children, and to the future in face of eternity.
