Reflections: Abstract or Reality

A photographer can capture an image in mere seconds with a camera…

But is what we see always the reality of what it is, or do we see things sometimes in more abstract views that make us question reality? (more…)

Daily Affirmations: Over and Over Again

“In the course of time, we all repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Today, I ask for the strength to learn and grow from my mistakes, and not to succumb to the vicious cycle of repeating them.” ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

Reflections: When The Tree Shakes

Sometimes in life you step out of your comfort zone and take a chance… Stepping out on a limb, you trust the universe to keep you safe.

But then, the tree shakes because maybe it’s not strong enough to bear your weight and you plummet to the ground.

So you ask the tree, why did you let me down, but the tree doesn’t respond, it just looks at you and shakes, leaving you filled with uncertainty and pain.

There is heartbreak in losing trust. There is grief in what you may think of as your own failure to recognize, that the tree wasn’t as strong and powerful as it appeared.

Illusions can get shattered like the glass in a mirror. In time with reflection you move past the heartbreak and grief and find your bearings once again. Healing takes time.

Reflections

In times of our own deepest reflection on life, we sometimes listen in the stillness for an answer… but it does not come. We mustn’t give up hope, we mustn’t lose faith. Some lessons are harder to learn than others. Some answers take longer to formulate than others. Give yourself to the deep reflection of your heart and soul… In the stillness, perhaps when you least expect it, you will understand the meaning of the trials you are suffering through.

The Dark Nights Of The Soul

I have alluded here from time to time that I have been on a path filled with struggles in recent weeks. It has been a time that many would call, the dark nights of the soul, referring to a time in one’s life when spiritual practice and discipline suddenly loses all it’s experiential value.

This particular journey through the dark nights of the soul started for me when I had what then seemed like a minor fall in my driveway, on the last full moon, January 8 ~ the Wolf Moon.

That fall however, coupled with other concurring trials and tribulations, has managed to turn my world upside down and leave my soul weary and wondering. (more…)
