From early on I took note of the energy behind the nib of a
writing instrument. While writing, your
entire body becomes part of the flow.
You lean in to a thought, move to the right or left when challenged with
an idea or dream, push harder into the paper while trying to express and
lightly rub the page with your opposite hand when trying to further the mental
location. Handing writing not typing
moves the mind, body and soul in the way of fueling the process of memory. It lasts much longer than a spur of the moment
unspoken verbal crossing. Twenty one
years after starting a daily writing journey I elected to make prayer not just
available to my inner self but to all things living after. Meaning, instead of prayer like so many, the moment
and or message would be written out. To
reflect upon. To study. To document what moves through you while
receiving. Yesterday was one of those
writing moments where something latched onto my heart and clearly said, “Make
the path possible.” The exact words
were, “For there to be peace, we must equally be loved. And in this moment of now there can be a new
level of togetherness but it’s going to require the existence of all that is
now and not a heart locked-in on history.”
Too many of our decisions and reasons behind creating a reaction are
based on and fed by the roots of something already lived. What if we begin living forward? Your parents had parents who had parents who
had parents. One of those parents is
probably the real reason why you do as you do.
But none of those parents have a voice in the say. You are because someone was. That being said. Someone will and can be… Because you chose today
to break the vine and live in forward walks and ways. “For there to be peace, we must equally be
loved. And in this moment of now there
can be a new level of togetherness but it’s going to require the existence of
all that is now and not a heart locked-in on history.” So what does any of this have to do with the
opening thoughts about prayer? I don’t
have the true numbers but something tells me a lot of prayer has been shared
over the past four months of a pandemic, injustice, a rising recession,
political news and this huge dust storm that will be entering the southern part
of the country this week from another area of the world. A lot of prayer! You see the headlines and
hear the talk. “For there to be peace,
we must equally be loved. And in this
moment of now there can be a new level of togetherness but it’s going to
require the existence of all that is now and not a heart locked-in on history.” Too many of our decisions and reasons behind
creating a reaction are based on and fed by the roots of something already
lived. Break the vine and live in
forward walks and ways. Someone will and
can be…
