"God, where am I trapped and unable to see it?" (From Wondrous Encounters by Richard Rohr)
I came across this image of a light weight trap.
You can see an insect trapped in the center. The trap is light, airy, with multiple access points. For a while the insect could move about, basically oblivious to the deepening entanglements. This oblivion was experienced, perhaps, as a sense of contentment, even purpose. But the reality is that the trap was more in control than the creature.
So.... here I am again, seeing myself on this path... wondering if I am not as free as I think. It feels airy, it feels like I can move freely. But am I moving deeper into an entanglement?
God, where am I trapped and unable to see it?
