Now when a challenge reveals itself, whether it is internal or external the message always stands out clear.  To me it says “remember the beloved within”, and in that remembering I find my healing.  It still doesn’t very often show up instantly, mostly I believe because I am still a slow learner.  It’s not a remembering in my head that heals, that sets things right, but rather a remembering of the heart. It is when my feelings remember love that I find healing.

Like most of us I get the understanding in my head long before it ever really sinks in.  I know it but I don’t necessarily initially live it. 

It has taken me years to truly ‘embody’ most of the ideas that I believe have been worthwhile lessons.  Yet with persistence I have eventually found a new level of realization, I have come to a new level of peace and understanding.

So now I discover when the ‘crises’ come in my life that I know where to go.  I have found a new level of patience with myself.  Why?  Because I now recognize that it is all about remembering the magnificence of a life alive in me and fully available to me.   In this remembering I have found peace and patience, in this remembering, even in my greatest fatigue and frustration I have found a new freedom.

There is one infinite power and it is available to me. All I have ever needed to do was surrender to it.  So now when ‘things’ happen, which they continue to do, I don’t get lost in self pity, I find release and a new found strength.
