Caracas (Venezuela), Sr. Nícida Díaz Leal, 11/11/2024.- I would like to begin this reflection with an anecdote from Anthony de Mello: ‘It was bitterly cold, and the rabbi and his disciples were huddled by the fire. One of the disciples, echoing the teachings of his Master, said: ‘On a day as cold as this, I know exactly what to do. What is to be done, the others asked. Keep warm. And if that is not possible, I also know what to do. What is to be done? Freeze. The existing reality cannot really be rejected or accepted. Running away from it is like trying to run away from your own feet. Accepting it is like trying to kiss your own lips. All you have to do is to look, understand and be at peace’. (La oración de la rana [The Frog's Prayer], p. 28).
