Day 074p: Inside every real Religion … (June 27, 2019)

It came time to depart and head back out onto the Road, and yet before I did so I couldn’t help wondering about how serene – almost joyful, even – Jesus’ face appeared on the cross herein …

A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. And yet I always laugh at any altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, for the simple reason that any real religion must be founded in a transformation of anxiety into Joy.” ~ via Alan Watts

I will See You again, and your Heart will rejoice, and no one will be able to take your Joy from you. On that day you will ask nothing of me.” ~ Jesus Christ (see John 16:22-23)
