Moving aside impossibilities,
the path has became wide.
And for a brief moment, a bit of light.
I am walking along my path, set with a direction for my energy. A lovely path of connection, allowing my heart a safe place to be. Unwanted ambivalence steps onto the path. The sources are too many to name. My heart retracts, my breath restricted- there is an ominous darkness ahead. I have learned to turn directly to God, who takes my hand and carries my fear - so I can breathe. He laughs and says, be here with me, I will light your way.
Where there's light, there's seems to be shadow too, as we make our way through both.
ReplyDeleteI think the shadows make the light brighter and more welcome. Without shadows we wouldn't appreciate the wonderful gift of light.
ReplyDeleteJoanne- Do you think we always must go through?I tend to want to go around the dark spots... Hmmm I just answered my own question- we need to go through both but we don't need to linger long in the dark spots. Thanks for all the great questions you pose on your blog. xo
ReplyDeleteGeorge- I know this in my head - but my heart tends to need a bit of convincing. Kind of like getting through winter... xo
ReplyDeleteTeri, this is a beautiful post.
ReplyDeleteLight and dark, opposites that don't exist without the other. I look for the light and will delay parts of the journey that require a trek through dark places. Then, the time comes to face that, too. Inevitably there is light on the other side.
Love this photo!! And, your testimony in faith. Psalm 46:10. Amen. As they say in horse riding "walk on".
