Innocence Perpetuated

"The loss of innocence is inevitable, but the death of innocence disturbs

the natural order.  The death of innocence causes an imbalance and initiates

an internal war that manifests differently in each individual."

B.G. Bowers

When disharmony manifests in the world, I do not want to internalize it.  I do not what to ignorantly turn the other way either, but I seldom see a direct action that can be useful.  Frustrated, my emotions turn to anger and I try not to hate the hater.  I endeavor to return to an innocence of believing in the goodness in man and the greater plan of Divine Spirit.  

I have the tendency to withdraw until I can feel balanced again. I do not view this as a cowering action nor one of defeat.  It is a self-imposed time out so I can regulate my breathing and come to my senses rather than acting out of emotions.  It is a way to stabilize myself.  It is a chosen way to protect my innocent reaction from erosion.  

Man has made this mess and we must learn to return to our innocent ways of working for the best interest of all peoples.  It is through connecting we can all expand and contribute in a positive way.  When we honor the goodness in each other, our world will be healed of the wounds we created.
