Being Authentic

An authentic life requires that we summon the courage to face the pain in our lives.

This should be done with as much compassion for ourselves as possible.

The Harvest

For a long time now I have been noticing that the past is connecting to the present - not only in my life - but also in the lives of those around me.

First it started with opportunities to let go of grudges, forgive myself and others, right any wrongs, resolve any unhealed relationships.

This weekend was a time of visiting familiar places where there were blessings in store for me. Again, each in their own way, others around me were experiencing the same kind of thing in their lives.

From unknown source:

"As a ship,

When unloosed from its dock,

Can start its new run

With compass guidance,

So I,

When unloosed from the past,

Can start my new run

With God's guidance."

Sail on!
