The paradox, the conundrum, the puzzler: There is ever some irritating person(s) who becomes our angel in disguise. Apparently, that irritating person must become not just an irritant but a veritable poisoner of our reasoning mind before we can loose him and let her go.
I have found that it matters not who represents the thorn that pierces our resistance and begins our inner turn around...all of our Gertrudes are it.
We stay stuck in our reasoning mind when we try to fix it...trying to ignore her which of course cannot happen, or by trying to curry his favor calling it "agreeing with our adversary quickly." Who's kidding whom...we lost that with the "quickly."
We cannot blunt the thorn and call it friend...it served its Now purpose...we pray our thank you which is to loose it and let it go...from the Father within outward carrying a smidgen of peace for us to follow up on daily.
We sing let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me and hope that we've done our part. No. We are the peace in the world...every smidgen, dot and iota of peace we release from within counts toward world peace. Know it and show it.
There we have our foundation. Now, we build on it daily...forgetting, stumbling, bumbling, admitting our wrong, giving forgiveness (our sliver of gold), praying thank you, and moving on up a tish deeper.
The thorn to our ego is the angel to our Soul.
Thank you.
