There are so many places I need to go. There are so many things I need to do. The mix of needs, wants, fears, anticipation, uncertainty, and the unknown are all in the bowl of life in front of me. There is no obvious right answer. As much as I hope that I can accomplish everything, choices will need to be made. In so many ways, it feels as if I am back in a dark alley in Barcelona. I am not sure I want to be here, yet I am.
There are obvious whispers as today begins along with some less so. I am listening, reflecting, and committed to being open to Divinity’s Spirit reminders.
Today is a gift for living. I am here, in this moment, to be involved. I am called to be present. In my fears, uncertainties, and doubts, I feel the weight of a mandate to engage and act. With each step, I rediscover that it is in living that my fears are conquered. It is in being fully present, facing whatever is in front of me that my uncertainties are addressed. It is in realising where I am now in contrast to where I have been that my doubts vanish. In the moment, one decision at a time, I rediscover what it is to live life fully and completely.
One is never alone. In looking ahead, I realise that Hope, Courage, and Commitment are willing to take each step with me. Physically and emotionally, friends and family are constantly at my side. When I slow down, my senses remind me that Divinity has always been within. Her quiet presence has never gone away. I live in Her embrace.
Intent is revealed through executing a plan. I find myself reflecting on Paul’s example; “I’m planning my visit. I’m headed for Spain and expect to stop off on the way to enjoy a good visit with you, and eventually have you send me off with God’s blessing.” (Romans 15.24)
My plan is to walk the streets, starting in darkness, into the light.
