I’m done…

And it feels good, safe, and right.

I’m done trying to figure out why people are blinded by hatred and choose to stay there. There is a mark on the wall where I used to bang my head with WTF, so I decided quite a while ago it’s not in my best interest to know the reasons.

But…

I regressed the other day.

I fell into my own ego, reacted in anger and it was just ugly.

I know better - I do, yet it happened; however…

The difference between now and then is: instead of asking why this person came at me, my question was why did I allow her to get under my skin and let it anger and hurt me.

Ego, ego, ego.

I am done (for the moment), and this is radical trust, but I know the universe supports us, even during the most difficult or painful times.

So I say a little prayer.

Somewhere in every heart there is a discerning voice. This voice distrusts the status quo. It sounds out the falsity in things and encourages dissent from the images things tend to assume. It underlines the secret crevices where the surface has become strained. It advises distance and opens up a new perspective through which the concealed meaning of a situation might emerge. The inner voice makes any complicity uneasy. Its intention is to keep the heart clean and clear. This voice is an inner whisper not obvious or known to others outside. It receives little attention and is not usually highlighted among a person’s qualities. Yet so much depends on that small voice. The truth of its whisper marks the line between honor and egoism, kindness and chaos. In extreme situations, which have been emptied of all shelter and tenderness, that small voice whispers from somewhere beyond and encourages the heart to hold out for dignity, respect, beauty and love.
