A Fine Line Between Right and Night

Has it ever happened that someone comes over to you with some Spiritual instruction or suggestion, and you suddenly feel cornered and defensive? And it's not that you doubt that what they are recommending has been good for them -- it's just that you somehow viscerally feel that their words are not good for you! Also, have you ever taken on a Spiritual commitment, only to find that drawing out the True Joy of that commitment and expression is much more difficult than you thought it would be? Below, please find a Shu-Shine for the Torah portion of 'Chukat' - "A Fine Line Between Right and Night" (Click "Listen Now!") May we each be blessed to discern the very fine line between Spiritual action and True Spiritual Direction, and to have the steps that best bring us forward in life light up before our very eyes. This week's Shu-Shine is dedicated to all my buddies and fellow Soul-Searchers up here at Phish's SuperBall Festival and In-Reach's first Upstate NY "Shu-bbaton", from where this Shu-Shine broadcasts! With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
