Bit o' Wisdom

I was talking to someone about the spiritual life, and how sometimes, (okay, most of the time), it feels like we're not making any progress. She said something that struck me as really funny, and yet really profound.

We think, "Wait, this is all looking veerrry familiar -- am I going in circles?" The answer is "Yes, you are, but it's an upward spiral to God!"

Thank you for that bit o' wisdom today, Friend...it often feels like we're seeing the same things (or the same faults) over and over...but we must just remember it's an upward spiral to Heaven!
