Pain

Statement of Truth:

My pain brought me to the surface of my being, not out of my body, although that does happen to some, just to the surface of my being.

It is at the surface of our existence, the skin line so to speak, where the flesh meets the air that we find things along the surface like compassion and understanding, love and caring. If we allowed them to sink in, to be absorbed, then we could begin to give-over the hard driving perfectionist treadmill that we keep ourselves on just to survive.

We also might even notice others just like us at the surface trying to figure out what to do.

We may just very well awaken into a place where we can begin to appreciate that we are not alone on the face of this planet and God has not made a mistake.

That we really are here for a purpose, and that purpose might not have a darned thing to do with our logic and reason.

We might notice … if we are actually paying close attention … that there just might be a message in the fact that we are here in the midst of 6 or so billion other lost souls … that maybe we should try experimenting with what we might be able to do with at least some of those lost souls … those who seem at least to be aware of the predicament we are all in.

All our natural defenses of resistance are just devices we use to keep our focus off the job at hand; of exploring the universe we were born into.

So Here Is The Conundrum

We are left right in the middle of a life that has brought some of us to our knees … by the sharp fragments and shards of its circumstances. There does not seem to be an appetizing solution at hand, but There Is A Door, and that Door seems to go places that could be both scary and painful. As we stand where we stand in our life’s circumstance, the very pain of standing there … slowly … is becoming so overpowering that we either have to mood alter … or … pretend … or … simply get on with it and go through that doorway.

It is simply a decision of when ... not if.

It is the ramifications of that decision that are mind boggling when you stop and think about it.
