GOOD IS EVERYWHERE
So it’s true, that there is good in everything if we look for it. My wife reads to me most nights now as my friend has given me a book to read called “illusions” Although I write believe it or not I am not a great reader, I don’t even read my Blog posts back a lot of the time. I also find that in my dreams sometimes I am spoken to, not by my wife but by someone far bigger than me. Sometimes my dreams are complicated, and others so very very clear. But this came from the book she reads to me.
So picture this, a river not the fastest river you ever saw, but all the same one that never runs dry. A river teaming with life, imagine then that there are some creatures in the river holding on for dear life, they do it everyday. Everyday they have to hold on so they are not swept away by the current. They don’t know why they hold on, but they chat to each other one day and discuss why they are holding on so tightly. One says to the other, we will be hurt if we let go and will be battered and bruised by the rocks. The other one says “yes but I am bored holding on, I want to let go and trust where the rivers current will take me”
The ones holding on, do not trust that they will not get hurt. For if they let go they will indeed get hit by the stones and rocks. They have no faith in what they don’t see, they only trust in what they can see. Yet the one who wants to let Ho and trust the stream believes by faith that where the stream is going and must know something he/she does not. Or surly the river would not keep flowing.
The time came that they let go, and sure enough the stream sent it smashing into the rocks below, hurt battered and bruised by the Flow of the water. It was not the water that hurt, it was what was in the river. The stream continued to flow and carried him up to the surface where there was sunlight and a new way of living. He had never seen the sunlight before, but because he had let go and had faith in what he could not see. He/She was able to see how beautiful they were, the colour of how he was made and learned that he had wings and was able to fly. He was given a gift because he used faith in what was unseen to become the beautiful person he became.
Life has been like this for us all I suspect at certain times, but not knowing what will be is the same for us all. Having faith in what will be is the same for us all to, only we can let go of what is so we can know what could be. Only we can allow what our true destiny is, to be discovered by having a few hits but still moving forwards. I just wonder if you will hold on tight to what you know, or if you will allow yourself to trust what is going to be by letting go.

Very much like life Mark. Sometimes, it hurts more to hold on than to let go. There is much more to what we are holding on to right now. Hope you are doing well!

Mark, that would be a great chapter in a book you should write. Outstanding. My wife also reads to me every night….The Riot Act. Nah joking aside that is a powerful message you have written. I’m sorry to say that I’m still holding on to the past and my thoughts harp back to the career which I had give up through ill health. One day I hope to be able to accept the new me.

You already know there is the new you, you said it all in your sentence. The only thing you have to do Eric is to accept what you are not able to change. Then do the best you can with what you do have. You see your nearly there, it’s just rather than reminding yourself of what you are not able to do. Reinvent what you are able to do. It’s a different world then.

When you start to rest in peace of what is. That it ‘just is’ things become clearer and gentler and less painful. Please don’t just wait let go and allow your ‘just is’ to be accepted and even embraced. Life will be different I promise. I was woken to write this message to you.
Really it’s true
In kindness your friend

I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death; but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.
