Her cries, hidden in the darkness, trace the tears of the stresses of a looming Divorce, the demands of responsible parenting and the piercing acceptance that True Love almost always never stands a chance. The hollowness in her soul compares to that of a corpse, the emptiness of her mind is the only things that eases the pain. A stillness comes over her and she listens to the song of Silence. Her Spirit finds a chord that seeks Balance, a pitch that yearns for Life and a melody that savors Peace.
She is no stranger to letting the pain burn, yet this time she knows that she's reached new peaks on the mountain that is her strength. A feeling of accomplishment brings a smile to her face as she brushes her shoulders off to begin a journey declining from this High place......
Spiritually, we have several stellar examples of prophets, teachers, gurus and mystics who, when all Earthly weapons sought to murder their very Soul, retreated to the wilderness, the desert, the moutaintop, the most disciplined Meditations. Undoutedly, like any of us, they questioned whether they were truly chosen or capable of assuming such a great calling. The one and only thing that they all have in common....... that we all have in common.........is Sacrifice.
What are willing to sacrifice in the name of living our best life ? When is enough, enough? When do we reach our breaking point? How do we overcome obstacles? Where does the healing begin? These questions seem to trace lines through my heart as veins follow paths to my internal organs. The answers are our source of Life.
.........Reflectively, the cliche: 'The same people you see going up; you will see going down' comes to mind. Her face beams rays of triumph and glows of perseverance. High off of the inclination she found filled with Beautiful exposures that often evade most, she feels pride and honor for the chance to be triumphant through the skirmishes......the fights......the battles......the wars.
She is me and I am her.....and this is my Sacrifice....
My inner voice says "Job well done....."
