Keep On Keeping On

 

 

As long as you're still alive

whatever you put your mind to

you can achieve.

You have the choice to

keep on keeping on.

While seeking a solid spiritual core, it is easy to slip out of the tethers holding us to the strength of life.  Some of us are too grounded and forget to look for the Divine while others are so busy delving into the Divine they forget to stay connected to life itself.  Ideally, we will secure a connection with the inner and the outer in addition to what is above and so below.

 

Struggle seems to be followed by discovery which brings comfort or more understanding.  Being human, we  ride the wave of contentment consequently losing the connection.  Struggle returns, we learn some more, and appreciate the abundance of the earth.  The spiral of life continues the motion, so round and round we go.   We eventually learn to not let life be one thing or the other.  Life must be lived and tended to, just as spiritual aspects need to be nourished and strengthened.  It is not an either or choice, but a mastering of two into one.

 

When we have learned to embrace the challenges of life while in union with Spirit, things unfold more reasonably.  One doesn't wait to purchase the fire alarm after the home is burned to the ground.  We practice prevention so that we are prepared. 

 

When we build an on-going dialogue with God, communication is established before our needs arrive.  Our conversation with the Divine is like any other relationship.  It requires constant care and awareness.  When we walk through life with God's light shining brightly through us, and radiating out of us,  we can keep on keeping on.
