Layers


 “Faith means living with uncertainty, feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide your life like a lantern in the park.” Dan Millman  

It does not matter how good of a person we are, troubling challenges happen. To be a part of the human experience includes the ability to navigate hardship. If we make bad choices, we will have a negative experience. If we react with kind heartedness, the challenge is the same, but the result may not lead us into victimhood.

Allowing fear to distract us from having faith in our skills and abilities cripples our endeavors. If we backslide into memories of past mishaps, our inner energies will not be used for moving forward. Life is a process meant to be a collection of lessons learned through trial and error. Maintaining awareness of our patterns of behavior assists in positive progression. 

When we maintain a spiritual connection in both good and challenging times, communication flows with inspiration for problem solving. Healing may come in stages but each one will be forming a healthy layer to support us. Trust that spirit will lead us out of darkness, lighting the way to a healthy and productive life beyond current distractions.

Love As An Implement





"A warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory;
it is about love.  Love is a warrior's sword; wherever it cuts,
it gives life, not death."
Dan Millman

Power is not singularly a physical force, control or oppression.  It can be non-violent and freeing.  Justice can be served without a sword and battles can be resolved without warriors. Peaceful living suggests love as an implement.

The coined term "Warrior of Light" once appealed to me in a non aggressive way.  It reflected standing for peace rather than 'fighting'.  It was a stance to project peaceful living through the absence of judgment and persecution.  

"Instrument of Love" removes the stigma of war, harm, and control.  It reduces the need for  positioning and encourages standing in one's own peaceful space respecting the equal space of others.  Could the world be finally shifting from Warrior/Fear to Love/Acceptance?
