"It is wise in your own life to be able to recognize and acknowledge
the key thresholds: to take your time; to feel all the varieties of presence
that accrue there; to listen inward with complete attention until you hear the
inner voice calling you forward. The time has come to cross."
John O'Donohue
Chaos and change generate options for transitions whether from one home to another; one career move to another; or one viewpoint to one other. Transitions, like change, are inevitable. The bottom line, perhaps, is whether we go kicking and screaming or openly create new perception.
Whether it is good for me or not, I tend to be reluctant to change. I have confidence in myself; but, it is the unknown actions of the oppressed that I have begun to fear. Politics and religion have always had two sides to the coin, but leaders appear to have replaced integrity and compassion with greed, and violence.
How great is the threshold for pain? Can Divine Presence still be heard or felt? Are we still listening? How much longer can the abused sustain without triggering extensive explosions? The time for transition approaches and I wonder who will be ready to cross?
