The other day my spiritual director asked me the question he often asks me after I've talked and talked; "what does God see looking at you now?". Sometimes I start to say things which are just my unconscious self having a go at me. I know this because the words or intent is judgemental or mean or sarcastic. Other times when I'm asked the question I pause and enjoy sitting quietly resting on God's gaze. The other day I answered that if God had a red pen God would mark my paper 'could do better" (Green pen these days I know but I'm old!). My SD asked 'is that really God?' And on this occasion I can say it wasn't my mean unconscious. The intent behind the words was full of love and grace not pettiness. I'm not busy has led me thus far to notice that I could do better in terms of even noticing God in daily life. So today I willuse the technique taught to me by a colleague; every time I get up from sitting down I will bring my right arm up to my heart and be grateful to God for something in that moment. I'm not busy
