"Fear narrows the little entrance of our heart. It shrinks
up our capacity to love. It freezes up our
power to gives ourselves."
Thomas Merton
There are numerous choices we can make. We can remove ourselves physically, withdraw emotionally, and neglect to nourish our spirit. We can tell our lovely selves that there is nothing we can do which excuses us from living in the present moment. Withdrawing into what may feel like a safety zone, creates a numbness.
It is imperative that we find an action that aligns with our inner being. If we do not have an opinion, then maybe it is time to reach inside and get in touch with our belief system. Perhaps, we are afraid to give voice to our preferences and that is certainly understandable. This however, is not an excuse to not know where we stand.
It is a false concept to believe we are limited. There are always options, but energy must be used to explore them. Exploring what is in our heart, accepting our desires, and building personal strength advances us towards clarity in action. Our power needs to be regenerated through whatever means we choose, but there must be some level of action.
