feelings and signs
posted: Sun, Nov 7, 2004 08:26:53 AM

 

i have very little direct knowledge of what that will is for me on a day to day basis, but had come to the understanding that it is revealed by subtle means and not through signs, burning bushes or a booming discorporate voice. instead i seek that knowledge by being present for what is going on inside and outside of me. the people and events that surround me on a daily basis provide me with what i need to determine what that will is for me right now. the feelings of right and wrong that arise from my heart and not my head alert me to the actual path i need to travel right now.
alas, i am only human and am not always comfortable nor willing to follow that path. however, that knowledge is provided to me if i open my heart, my eyes and my ears to the world within and without me, and i get to choose which direction i will take. my daily meditation may not bring certainty, but it does open the channel and bring me some peace and serenity. i am hardly a mystic, but today i do believe in things beyond what i can see, touch, hear, smell and taste. i may not always know what is right, but i certainly know what is wrong today and that knowledge can guide me through this day.

that existence sprang from It as non-existent (and not named).
