A Time Less Travelled – A Time Of Acceptance 6 comments

14 Feb 2004 @ 20:23, by Salama Shaquana I am feeling whimsical today, thinking of the meaning of my life. Why I am here, wishing I could go home. Please indulge me as I share my feelings, as this is food for my soul. This is the substance that gives me the strength to face another day, another challenge. Tomorrow someone I work with will be told she no longer has a job with the company that she has worked for over 27-years. I feel sorry for her and I feel angry with her because she should (could) have taken control of her life, listened and done something about addressing the issues that had been raised with her. Many people went ‘out on a limb’ for her – but she refused to change, refused to listen and now she will pay the price. Even though I am angry with her my heart feels for what she will go through tomorrow. She has no partner, no support net; she will be largely on her own. I know her; she will continue to drive people away. I also feel to some degree that I have failed which is what prompted me to write the following. For Pip, A Time Less Travelled – A Time Of Acceptance I wonder at times what my purpose in this life is, Is it to experience the joy of earthly life? Is it is make restitution for life’s past deeds? Is it to merely drink in the wonder of this beautiful earth? I feel the warmth of sun on my skin. I feel the bite of cold in my heart. I feel the joy of sunrises and sunsets. I listen with awe at the melodic sounds of natures’ custodians. Despite this I question why my blueprint is not clear to me, I am fearful what lies ahead. I wrestle with my inner turmoil afraid to ask for signs. Then the voice of reason appears and quells my fear. There is recognition that this struggle is within me. The voice is clear and full of joy, Enjoy this time for it is short on this paradise called earth. Accept that you are told what you need to know. Have faith that our trust and love will give you strength. Believe in the energy and golden threads of universal connection. You are child of spirit our dear one. Accept that we always have you in our hearts. The lessons that are placed before are sometimes harsh, But the gifts that you receive in return are beyond value. Nestle in the warmth that surrounds you. For this is your time of acceptance.
