Carry the world or be crushed by it….

I wrote that down on a sticky note because it seems to sum up life very nicely. We are always faced with a choice about any particular problem that arises. Do we let it rattle us or do we carry it consciously?

Right now I am being crushed by my tremor, which is suddenly just bad enough to make anything done with my hands a bit more difficult.

It doesn’t hurt to exaggerate things when you are feeling way too serious about something. I could say that I choose to carry my crazy instead of being crushed (or rushed) by it.

This leaves me with a clean slate, which is desperately needed in these mind-numbing times.

I can type this more consciously in order to avoid mistakes.

I can breathe more consciously.

We always have choices as to how we will react to what God has ordained for us.

The planet is darkening as its inhabitants grow more destructive. Jesus was right; awakening is for the few. The masses prefer to sleep on.

As spiritual students, we are charged to see clearly and stop associating with evil. But the evil is within as well as without! So we are also charged to watch our thoughts, emotions and actions.

We make a vow to live each day as consciously as possible. That is a prayer.

Amen.
