When bad things happen to us that hurt us very much…
Our wound is very great, the depths of which make us cry--
Leaving us to search the deepest depth of our hearts, trying to understand why.
What has happened we cannot take back or make go away--
Your wound is our wound forever and ever, the hurt and pain we will think about with you every day.
Such emotions cut deep to our core-- challenging our agreements, beliefs, and perceptions, ways of being that all of us accept and take in stride are no longer there--
For all of us, always our hearts speak-- over and over again, in the name of God, this is just not fair.
The depth and heartfelt emotion of our loss we will never leave behind…
And with this, we all are asked to challenge our emotions and ways of being that transcend space and time… to create a new mind.
What so often stops us are the fears and insecurities of unknown emotions that exist in new realities--
We must allow for the dream of infinite possibilities…
And in this way, it is said, exists the kingdom of God, said to be everywhere and above--
Though in truth, this non-ordinary state is with us always,
fueled by a divine energy and immersed with love…
My heartfelt respect for your courage and fearlessness. God bless all of you.
