Don't Look Back...

Dreams...disjointed and ephemeral...

Nightmares...crisp...clear and precise...

For every action as Newton theorizes...'His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. If object A exerts a force on object B, object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.'

Every choice...every action creates a ripple, a riffle, a pucker in the fabric of life...ours and others, seen and unseen.

Calm mind...controlled emotions...fear and anger used for good; guided by a quirk of fate and timing...

It may seem that we are unwelcome stowaways on a storm-tossed voyage, pitched this way and that by the fury of the elements, when in fact we are guided by a firm and steady hand at the Helm....let the storm rage, let the waves of life push and pull and tilt the vessel for we stand firm on a rudder that uses the motion of the ocean to steer our course through.

Every moment of triumph bolsters...every little bit of forward momentum a building block to success and a life of purpose.

I face forward after a quick peek back...and resolve to never look back again. All that lays behind us dear hearts are reminders of 'why' you stand where you do today.

Some days I find that I need the jolt, the quick breath of disbelief for how far I've come. In doing so, I may open myself to pain and heartache...the treasure hidden amongst the garbage, is the strength gained to survive....

See resolve, determination and perseverance grow from the ashes of love unreciprocated....the lifting of the burden of questions never answered...the closure of a wound no longer open, and a releasing of the need for validation.

We are all we need for validation, for closure, for an understanding of the past. Dear Hearts, you hold within you all the necessary tools for life, for overcoming, for persevering...

Oh, I know...it hurts, it aches and at times feels insurmountable...let it come my friends...let it well up inside and make its way out of your soul to fly on the winds of compassion, of a Love that surrounds and encompasses...free once more to be you, accepted and loved as you are, right now...right here...right in the mess...accepted...loved.

Face forward now dear friends...and see what bounty awaits you...

Stand tall....walk proud...and speak your truth. You are worthy of being heard, worthy of all that is good and lovely.

Go with God today and everyday....and remember 'all things are possible to him who believes...' Mark 9:23

'He is risen...' Matthew 28...for us, for our freedom, for our sins. We can shed the sorrow, shed the shame, the blame...and stand in joy and awe at the works of His hands.

We stand as warriors today, together....in Him all is possible.

We stand and accept Love as fact...we too, deserve all that is good and kind...and the best of all, a magical kind of love.
