I feel

like taffy

Being pulled in complete diametrically opposed positions*

One one hand so small

To be blessed with the glory of being part of God

And on the other

My soul feels as infinite as eternity

And feels the power and strength of God’s love

It is breathtaking

It is magical

It is illuminating

Enchanting

Spellbinding

Wondrous

And absolutely spectacular

And I wish everyone would open themselves to feel it

It’s in there

In each and everyone of us

It’s just a matter of letting it pour out

Just let it come forth

In some of us that voice is so quiet

So distant

So muffled

And muttled seeming

But it’s there

And the more you listen to it

The more you open yourselves to it

The more you will feel closer to God

There is no actual close

You are all you ever need to be

You are already in God-space

You just need to channel your heart

And open the floodgates









*is that redundant?  Seems a bit maybe and pretentious. Right?

Trascend the fear

Sometimes it’s when your back feels against the wall

When you’re being hit in a lot of directions

By things that are producing very high levels of anxiety

Be it stress

Financial crisis

Family issues

Health issues

Up to

Life or death situations

And everything in between

When you are being challenged in ways you aren’t sure you’re even adept at

It’s when you can shine the most

It’s when something inside of you either grows or dies

It’s here where challenging the fight or flight response works best

It’s neither

We don’t live in that age

It’s mindfulness

It’s being completely aware (As much as possible at least)

And not letting the terror strike you down

Not letting the fear grasp onto you and take control

It’s finding a way to that inner peace

That we all carry inside

Not letting outside forces

Good or bad

Derail us from the calmness within

There can be joy

There can be music

Dancing

Laughing

Merriment

Peace doesn’t have to be somber

Inner peace is true freedom

Plain and simple

And true freedom doesn’t come with any walls

Not in your mind

Not in your heart

Not in your soul
