What is not love is fear. Anger is one of fear's most potent faces. And it does exactly what fear wants it to do. It keeps us from receiving love at exactly the moment when we need it most.
“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance—that principle is contempt prior to investigation.”
Speak to me without words. Hold me without arms. Charm me without charms And I feel love Understand me without pity. Smile at me with eyes. See the sea from the city. You never tell me lies. Walk with me when I'm alone And listen to my cries. Now I know that you know All negativity dies. It's a choice. I hear your voice. Yeah, sometimes I don't. You won't let me forget, And I know you know I won't. I want to touch so many. Where am I supposed to be? Where ever I am, where ever I go, I know you're with me.
It is too easy to believe we are at the end of the line when it is only the beginning. One more step, one more effort may be all that is needed. It would amaze us if we knew how close we are to stepping past an old barrier--and it would shake us to know how close we came to quitting. Some would say it is too late--that too much has happened, we cannot go back and recapture what was lost. We have destroyed too much, bent the twig too far. And so it is true in some things. It is true that we have hurt and been hurt. We can't go back, but the spiritual basis on which we stand can lift us up. Sometimes we have to sift our own lives to see what is worth saving, and then we find the Great Spirit made us. What He made is good and we should not let it go to waste. It is the time to turn over a new leaf to rediscover Divine connections.
---From A Cherokee Feast of Days by Joyce Sequichie Hifler
God, Please help me to “act” toward people instead of react. Please help me find my center of balance and know who I am. Please allow me to be in command of my own conduct. Please remind me, as you commanded , to return good for evil. Please help me keep my spiritual temperature on an even keel so that I am not at the mercy of the social elements. Please allow my euphoria to come from self approval instead of from the praise of others. Please keep me from becoming bitter at others opinions, snubs or criticisms. Grant me the serenity that comes with being a master of my own actions and attitudes. Please help me to remember that the only true possession is self- possession. AMEN
The void within is filled with Love. Joy, and Peace become the radiance of your Being. Harmony exists within each moment. You cannot work at being in state of Unconditional Love -it is merely the byproduct of Letting Go and reconnecting to love without conditions. You will no longer need dramas in your life to serve as a catalyst to get you where you want to go. You will already be there.
