Christopher Lantz, Sangre de Christo Mountains 1984 Q: Robert, what is the meaning of clinging to suffering consciously, of choosing to not let go of a heavy cross, when life takes it away from you, not because of fear or lack of duty , but because of loving the nectar of struggling, because of the weight of it keeping me grounded and with the head low, because I can bow genuinely and humbly to feel the Divine presence descending in my hardship. What is to be done if the hardship is taken away in the play of life and I am left in a state of freedom, but seeing this freedom not even coming close to the glimpse of freedom given in struggling? How can I be free of both?
I am curious about what the mysterious “desire” is that the questionnaire talked about—the one that’s like a wild fierce horse. The one that he wants to jump on and transcend.
