Some times will test your mettle but stay true to self during the trials. The truth is not in what is said but what is done. Words will fly forth that question and sully but let those words not heat emotions that would pollute the actions.
In times of easy change and happiness, it is easy to be sharing and caring and to give love and laughter. The true joy is sharing and caring and giving love and laughter when things are tough and there is darkness in others.
There are many longing for connection. Without it, they are lonely and sad. Life for them is a series of motions with little purpose. They look everywhere for that linkage. Traditional religion offers some comfort but leaves them with more questions than answers. They read of inner peace and self-improvement and keep parts of all read but find only partial answers there. Friendships are palatable but not truly intimate. They escape temporarily in travel and adventure but return to longing when the diversion ends. They throw themselves into work and causes with passion but lack the passion they need.
These are Your Kindred---Those longing to belong and be accepted as of the Feminine and of the Source. Those feeling what was but is not and not knowing if it will be again. That is what you offer just by being you when they find you. You are hope. More come to you. Once hope feeds them, they will share it with others.
Be yourself. See those that hint at questions and free them to ask. That will be enough.
It is alright to be happy. In fact, it is right to be happy. Laughter and mirth lighten the load. Use it to fuel yourself to better handle the temporary setbacks and sadness.
Laugh and love and live. Although others may wallow in the very sadness of sadness, offer some solace and support but join not their misery. Misery is all too often self -imposed and healing cannot be handed, it must be grabbed. Sickness and weakness grows when company joins.
Laugh deep and well and often for there is magic in it. There is health and happiness in the very act. Laughter is of the spirit and the body knows it each time. It is medicine, magic, and music all in one. It is in you all. Let it out.
Muscles of all kinds are lost when not used. Begin to use them after a long dormancy and there is pain and even resistance to use. As if the very movement that was intended is no longer possible. As if the muscle did not just stop being used but disappeared forever.
Begin the use slowly. Re-introduce the use to even the slightest of movement. Celebrate often as use becomes more routine. Once the basic motion is back though, flex and flex often. The muscle is back in place and must be pushed to mass and power. Let it see that dormancy is gone and power is back.
This will not be easy at the outset for it is easier just to let the dormancy remain. Inertia is like that. So long rested, the dust of time buries not just the motion but the form and function of what was and what should be. The hardest part will be returning to any motion. Once in motion, the rest is just not to lose the motion and the power in it.
Those with you are with you wherever you are. Feel that within. Feel the connection as well as the energy and you will know who is true to you and whom you are true to in turn or just because. Their image is photographed to your heart and soul. Their sound sings sweetly even when they are silent. Their taste feeds the memory and fuels the hunger of reunion.
Feel who is not just with you but also in you. Feel the connection that transcends time as well as space. Then foster it even more when together in this realm for that it carries to all realms.
I didn’t ask for this intensity.
I begged for it.
To feel this deeply is insane.
To feel anything less is yesterday.
I don’t hide my emotions.
I eat them for breakfast and shit them for lunch.
What’s for dinner?
Life is an acquired taste.
I’m hungry.
Run not from the evil nor surrender to it. It is there and cannot be denied. Hiding from it does not eliminate it but fuels it. If it is there, be amidst it and remain true to self and purpose. There is the true strength. Enemies on the other side of the mountain are still enemies….even if we ignore them, they are there.
When in the evil, look to what makes you, you. Then be there as you are and let your energy shine through. Evil attracts the weak and the weak will see the good energy and some may sense the hope therein. It is a mission of sorting.
Your truth to self is shield as well as sword. In places you would rather not be it the true test of self. In comfort, there is not challenge. In refuge, there is not resolve. To be in the very valley of not belonging and be pure empowers. It sweetens the times of comfort and the places of refuge.
Venture forth. If not, the borders shrink. Be a pilgrim and a traveler if that is your place. Comfort the pilgrims and the travelers if you are with them but not of them. All serve a purpose.
