Big Red Wall

In my day to day interactions, I come across many people with cold, hard exteriors.  What I have found is that the more tough, course, demanding and obstinant a person acts, it is really an outside barrier to the vulnerability and fear that they hold on to inside.

In our "individualized society," the walls that people put up seem necessary to protect oneself against the onslaught of life. What is simply amazing, though is that when the walls come crumbling down and YOU are exposed; the people who love and care about you are finally able to give the gift of themself to you.

All of the protection that you think you need from others is an illusion that you have created to mask your own fear. Even if it takes all the strength that you have, start to tear down that wall and allow love back into your life.

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"When the walls around someone are so high that the person seems untouchable, bend down and peer under it. They are waiting for a reason to change." tc

Resting in the Light

I passed a church today and outside on the front lawn was a sign that said, "Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil, there is simply no point."  I was taken back by this announcement. In truth, I thought that it was quite harsh.

I happen to believe in God but my faith also allows for everyone else to believe whatever they feel fits them best. To tell someone that life without God is simply not worth it, is not allowing for each person to grow into their own being, at their own pace.
The Creator (I call God) made each one of us. We are a divine spark of the Light of God. We travel a unique and individual journey called life. Every life is valuable and worthy. Every life has a greater purpose in the Divine Plan.

We may not begin knowing what our purpose is or exactly how we are supposed to live but the path that we walk, unfolds with each step that we take.  We learn and grow with every challenge that is placed before us. We climb the mountain and one day......we will understand our Truth and rest at the top. 

So, on that note, the quote of the day is:

"Bathe in the light, while you climb the mountain and you will reach the top.....one step at a time." tc
