Lately I’ve been feeling uninspired.  I’ve noticed this sense of listlessness particularly in prayer.  In religious books, I have run across the term “a dry period” to connote a desert-like time in one’s prayer life.  Is that what I am experiencing?  The word that comes to my mind is not dryness but emptiness.  The feeling within me seems more like the lonely void of interstellar space.

    At times I don’t feel all that loving, even toward people I love very much.  This waxing and waning in my affection bothers me.  What is the source of my fickleness?

The Beatitudes confuse me—and that’s a problem since they are central to Jesus’ teaching.  But just take the first three, why is it blessed to be poor in spirit, to mourn, to be meek?   I tend to think I would rather be rich in spirit, happy, and at least somewhat assertive.
