Sting of Discord

"Your loneliness, your fear, and your anxiety are not

mistakes. They are not obstacles on your path. 

They are your path."

Matt Licata

We slowly form the habit of becoming aware of our stresses rather than repressing them; but then we need to learn to speculate. What are these road blocks? Why is this blocking my path? Matt Licata would say there is a reason and when we unearth it, we find the freedom we have been looking for.

As we wander down our path, we can experience confusion and often times absolute chaos. Resisting panic, we can sit with stress exploring what wisdom might lie within. If we pursue the mystery, insights surface. It is from this newly discovered information that guidelines direct us further down our pathways.

When we experience the sting of discord, we must overcome the instinct to retreat. Instead of shutting the self down, we must choose to remain open.  Something may be rearing its ugly head, but what else is there? Call upon spiritual guides to illuminate the darkness, revealing safe passage to the journey's unknown.
