For the Sake of Peaceful Living





"Your sacred space is where you can find
yourself over and over again."
Joseph Campbell


Blessed by another three days of solitude, I threw myself into reading, meditating, and writing of my experiences.  I was filled with bliss, harmony, and peace.  I do realize every day cannot be like this, but I deeply appreciate when these special situations arrive.

There were a few moments before others would return to the house so I jumped on line, after days of absence.  Within fifteen minutes I could feel my spirits sinking deeper and deeper.  Hopelessness and anxiety began to fill my recently blissful heart. I felt shame from others actions and disgrace for the neglect of all living things.  I found my self totally thrown out of alignment.

I refuse to fall into pits of darkness and I will not retreat to some mentally magical kingdom avoiding the realities of life.  I will, however, ground myself once again and practice being balanced ... to be aware, but not a participant.  I will focus on extending my light out into the world for the sake of others and for the sake of my own peaceful living.
