Slavery of the Soul
Always unintentional
But so easy to do!
You disregard the yearnings of your soul,
In favor of a “safe” existence.
Your master is your head and not your heart.
That is like walking thru life with shackles,
With leg irons so heavy that each step is tiring.
And THAT is a sure indication that your living
the life of an indentured servant,
subject to the wants and whims of others,
Losing site of your true nature, and what makes YOU happy.
When that happens, it gets harder to wake up in the mornings,
You are so tired all the time.
You feel the chains of the expectations of others
Weighing you down!
Break free!
Emancipate yourselves!
Break all the locks, remove the chains of living
Someone else’s life,
Slavery of your Soul is
Like a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
(written surrounded by the red rocks of Zion National Park)!
What we mean by this is that
Out in your world right now
there are some boiling,
roiling,
simmering,
emotions
held within a seemingly porcelain veneer.
This can be confusing.
You are much more comfortable when
the inside matches the outside,
especially in regards to emotions.
You are witnessing cracks in the delicate
but useful way that certain people have
been able to mask their emotions, and operate
In the world.
When someone who looks to all the world as if they have it all together,
Starts to hiss vitriol thru a smile,
or a person who up until recently has been very measured,
all of the sudden is quick to anger, even throwing things,
and looks to be having a “meltdown”,
THAT can be disconcerting…
For you
And for them.
The healthiest, way for your mind and body,
Is always to feel your emotions in the moment.
We do not mean being their victim,
Or being a slave to them.
The goal is to feel them as they come up.
If you do, they stay appropriate.
By that we mean, there is no
“Over reaction” because things have not built
up and boil over at something trivial.
As we are always saying,
When you see this Tempest in a Teapot
Practice compassion.
When the flowers on the porcelain fade,
And the simmering of all their emotions,
causes the pot to crack or overflow,
or break altogether,
Have compassion,
Even if it is you!
There is such a beauty in aging that is grossly
Under appreciated.
There is such wisdom that comes with the accumulated years.
Edges that existed in youth, have worn smooth,
there is less concern about appearance and correctness,
so these later years can be used in service.
Service to the beautiful planet that has been such
a welcoming host,
Service to those that are coming up behind you,
Looking for any and all secrets you can shed some light on.
Each day is such a gift,
And you have been blessed to age.
You have been blessed to make it to this place of
Wisdom and grace.
You know who you are,
You know what you want,
You know your strengths,
And your weaknesses,
You are more and more comfortable in your own skin,
With an innate knowledge of the way things work.
Your roots have grown deep into the earth,
like an ancient redwood,
Or the solid foundation of a lighthouse.
Nothing can shake you,
No storm is too strong, for you have witnessed
And braved many thru your years.
That energy of strength and wisdom
Is your gift to the planet.
It is needed,
No, it is required for you to stand tall
And proud in these, your later years,
And radiate the qualities and talents you have acquired.
The gift of age goes two ways,
It is your turn to give back!
