We must try with a will or fall by the wayside. -- Anonymous
That sentence is still playing its trumpet in my mind. Followed, immediately and as usual, with: Let go and let God.
Both of these thought-sentences have been on my mind, in my heart and soul, playing constantly for some time now.
It is fear. of course, that is dictating my thoughts...I think that I "just recognized" but "just acknowledged" is the truth. I've known it was fear, I was afraid to acknowledge it.
I do not doubt that many, if not the majority, of us today are suffering the tortures of free-floating fear, trying to it figure out, pray it away, think it over, talk it to death, etc. That is our life daily and our life with the politics of today's world factored in.
My Now-life interpretation: Fear along with the ups and downs of daily life comprise the gift of still more spiritual growth. The basic fact of which is: The reverse of our self-interpretations is probably God's will, God's way for us.
I'm reminded of the cartoon of the little child being fed dinner, his punchline being, I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it. That's our first thought when God gifts us with a specialty of his...or, why second thoughts are priceless.
Feel the fear and do it anyway is still calling my name so here goes me into my day, doing, dammit, doing1
Thank you.
