Inevitably, the journey takes each of us in different directions; however, by virtue of circumstances or choice, each of us will at some point in our lives find ourselves on the outskirts of society listening to the silence coming from within. -- Laura Swan
In my early years of soul searching, I was awakened to the truism, I am the source of all my woes.
A while back, I had been beaten down by my own less-than-good habits when that thought bloomed...I was torn between Oh, No, Not Another Change and Thank You. As it happened, that turned my self-searching around...I began to seek answers inside my own self.
By way of my first resistant-but-willing thought, I was lifted into higher consciousness where I found the God of my understanding...worst to first in a heartbeat that is still beating strong.
Today, I am the source of all my woes is my go-to whenever my life seems to be going in the wrong direction...which, no matter the camouflage, is for material benefit, away from spiritual growth.
As an aside, that is no doubt how I am staying reasonably calm in the midst of the political climate in America today. On awakening, I pray my three-minute prayer, For America.... Then in silence I give over to God to fill in the rest.
Perhaps contemplative spaces can be found wherever people skirt the margins of inclusion. -- Rev. Dr. Barbara Holmes
