Cameron, what a marvelous weaving of your amazing experience at the airfield and the impact of the myth on limitless "thrust" in all its forms. I was reminded of one the 64 patterns of life described in the I Ching, #60 Limitation.There is much wisdom in the entire reading. Here's a one sentence taste: "The individual attains significance as a free spirit only by surrounding himself with these limitations and by determining for himself what his duty is."
Some things arrive just when you need them. Usually I read your work and I can nod in agreement. Today did the same, but hit more deeply. And the reflection activity is actually doable , and not so overwhelming to me. Thank you for that, and the prayer.
Thanks Cameron. We’re on the runaway merry-go-round now and the crash is eminent. The questions are: are we learning anything and what will we do after the crash???
Normally, there;s an over reaction which can be as bad as the crash…
Once again you have captured so much, Cameron!!! I love the reference to the plane, its capacity, and its envelope. This offers beautiful guidance needed to metabolize all the horrors being wrought and affecting our nervous systems daily!
Cameron, excellent! It must have been horrifying to realize that jet was in trouble but then to watch it crash!
I always appreciate your Questions, Prayer and Practice. They are spiritually nourishing. Especially appreciate the Practice today....noise is what is shattering my envelope these days. Seems each source is amplified as it vies for attention in a world losing attention span!
Cameron, this was excellent. It must have been horrifying to realize that jet was not right and then to watch it crash!
I always find your Questions, Prayer and Practice so spiritually nourishing. Today's Practice is outstandingly helpful. My " envelope" is shuddering with the noise levels of our world-- it all seems amplified, as if each source is vying for attention in a world quickly losing attention span.
This was a fantastic read! I was smiling and the more I read the more I felt like you must’ve been listening or a fly on the wall maybe. The topic at the Illuman men’s event I attended here in Richmond VA and with others around the country online was called, ‘Wisdom’s Constraint’. How we need to recognize our capacity and see the need for sabbath and pause. These are the things that increase our relational and spiritual stamina. Awesome!!!!
Thank you Cameron, As society pushes the messages of “ more, more, more”, it is true that we need to discern and rest. Peace to you.🙏🏻We are in this together!
Thank you for this wisdom, Cameron. I’ve been feeling the overload. Sometimes I have to disconnect and dwell on what God has brought to my mind. A Sabbath thought, a Holy promise and reorientation to the heart of God and His priorities. Bless you!
Cameron, I was deeply, breathlessly astonished by the wisdom and truth of this! Thank you. A few weeks ago I shared with the Sunday school class I get to lead that I’d experienced the costly reality of running faster than my legs and feet could eventually sustain. Falling when moving as fast as I can is consequential. But I remember, and I learned. A sabbatical pace of life is not only prudent, it’s the only sustainable rhythm that’ll get us where we need to be. Peace in your journey…
Good morning, Rev. Cameron. What I'm about to say I'm sure is common to many of us. I need a Sabbath from politics. I need to let it go for awhile. I wake early. And for years, the first thing I'd do during the holy time would be to read something. Now I go right to YouTube. Not good.
Thank you. This is coming at a very good time for me, too. I'm new here. The world is crazy. Some of us grew up being told that spiritual was simultaneously right and wrong. And contemplation was at the same time morally acceptable and unacceptable. That limits are okay, and we're all vulnerable, but we can be anything we want (shouldn't we, then?). Screw all that. I think Sabbath is a good idea... at least an adapted form of it. I don't know if I'm up to it now; it sounds big. But it makes sense. How else do you... well, live, for the sake of it, and give praise, and offer prayers, and do the things that have intrinsic value? Maybe a 10-minute Sabbath, just this once?

Cameron dear, you are a great aircraft pilot, and even a better one of assisting us to pilot life in the Wisdom of Sabbath... Thanks for that.
Best yet. Thank you.

Excess power? Crash.
Limitations aid life’s flight.
Enough is enough.
