Last week I was struggling with stillness. couldn't get past my thoughts and be with God, reacting a lot and feeling annoyed. Not wanting to accept my current situation of having loose ends to tie up in Tulsa but not being able to go there and not having my own space yet in Louisville. I was feeling increasingly frustrated and feeling like things weren't working out for me. I started to go into the darkness and old thoughts about who I am started to come up like, there's something wrong with me and I'm flawed somehow and not entitled to happiness. Crazy, right! Well, one morning a couple of days ago, I woke up and thought that maybe I should just quit doing the lessons. But immediately I thought, NO!!! No specific thought behind that but just a feeling of urgency, like I am not going to waste anymore time, why not awaken right now. I haven't got the time to waste. I do, more than anything, wish to understand. So, today I've been in a state of gratitude. I am so thankful for these last few months in which it seems that there was a space created in my life, where I have the opportunity to spend most of my time focused on these lessons and on awakening, reflection and on God, without being distracted by a job and plans and schedules and meaningless activities. I realize what a gift this situation has been. I have no reason or excuse to not make time for God. It's like an intermission period in my life and the next scene is transformation. The light is shining away the past to make room for God's presence!!! Thank you for shining your light and being here for me and so many others. With much love and gratitude. p.s. I finally have the opportunity to go to Tulsa Thursday. I'm going to sell all my stuff and just take what will fit in the car. I'll come back with very little baggage and whole lot more light. :) Thank you Lisa for posting this.
