Last third living is more contemplative. It is more open and moving toward rest. It is broadening, not restricting. More toward forgiveness, less toward dividing.

“You no longer need to divide the field of every moment between up and down, totally right or totally wrong, with me or against me. It just is. This calm allows you to confront what must be confronted with every greater clarity and incisiveness. This stance is not passivity at all. It is, in fact, the essential link between true contemplation and skillful action. The big difference is that your small and petty self is out of the way, and if God wants to use you, which God always does, God’s chances are far better now!” (Richard Rohr, Falling Upward, ps. 146)

I don’t have to gauge every moment, every action, and something that needs a black and white evaluation. The even in the moment is just that… the event.

IT JUST IS.

Last third living allows me to see it then know what to do.
