We Catholics (Christians) have a term David as you may know > Holy Moments. In which we act in a way that Jesus did towards others. Holding a door for someone, smiling as one passes by in a Gym, yes allowing someone a parking space even if you were there first ;) Sure every culture has a form of this charitable component as it is in all humankind, yet through Christ's example does it not just become good deeds, but a reflection of a light from The Light, The Truth and The Way! Something to also ponder on as we forge our passion, essence and harmony towards our greater self! Continue to Quest well...just remember the Well one is to Quest towards which one will never thirst again!

The Sacrament of the Present Moment is God’s Ikigai- God’s Purpose in the Present Moment. This was written by Jean Pierre de Causaade in 1861, his book “Abandonment to Divine Providence” - check it out.

I appreciate the mention Peter and just skimmed over this to help me capture even a glimpse of what is meant by the title. I like his mention of the hands of a clock ticking off the moments in the present...presence of God. Also Active and Passive Fidelity where we engage in seeking our Faith and then allowing like Mary and others to let go and let God allow his Divine Providence to take over. Of course all this within our Free-Will as we have to give permission to God to love us in that way! All good and thanks for that suggestion. This may help David and others to get a quick glimpse as well https://assets.avemariapress.com/media/files/8ff7c74f4d23e5c0e2ddf561f7060be1/Pages_from_0-87061-253-0_body.pdf

On the contrary thank you Peter....because of your inspiration earlier I have sent this knowledge tidbit to others and it helped a few other people reflect in a unique way. When we skim a pebble in the lake it not only creates a joy for us but has ripples on the whole lake!

Your reply, David, reminds me of a few lines from my favorite Camino poem: "Pilgrim, there is no way; the way is made by walking."

We are walking our way to [fill in the blank] and doing it together - which is also the Ikiguy Way

One of the biggest gifts life has given me is the ability to remember my childhood and see life through the eyes of my inner child. Sometimes, to my detriment, but most of the time, using my creativity, I've been able to get out of problems. At times, I feel completely misunderstood, but most of the time, it brings me joy. Thank you for reminding me that this is a beautiful blessing.
