PHOENIX RISING...OR FUHGETTABOUTIT

...life's difficulties and troubles are not intended to arrest your progress, but to increase your speed. -- "God Calling," November 10

And again: It all comes down to acceptance...to pain unto surrender unto acceptance. We're talking excruciating mental pain. Face it, nobody goes for surrender feeling good about it. The very word is off-putting.

Which proves the point. Those who fight their pain and conquer it even a little bit, hold it near. And it lives to fight us again.

It is in being conquered by the pain, also known as crashing and burning, that we rise from the ashes, dust ourselves off, say, "Well, hell...I can't do that anymore," and accept ourself and our situation. According to me.

Thank you.
