Overcoming


Recently, I have experienced a time of stasis, inertia, quiet lack of motivation, and sedentary living.  These times have felt like leftover tatters and remnants from a past experience of wounding.  So many of us have some story or account of wounding from our past.  Once healed, such traumatic experiences will not repeat themselves. The past is in the past.  Each day in the present we create a new life that becomes our future.  In global daily life desperate actions, chaos, and unrest surround us.  We may have previously experienced the emotions of desperation and chaos, but they can no longer touch us.  We are overcoming this old life of the past, and we are being lifted up and out of daily conflict.  We are moving forward in our whole human fullness and beauty, lifted by golden rays of light.

"The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths."
