Good Night God,
Believing as deeply as I do that You love us . . . I am coming to believe that my Painful, Long Hidden — Wrong Responses — can be used to help me rebuild. The idea seems to be that when one of these Dark Spots surfaces I can go back into it. Be with my Wounded/Wounding Self. Feel with it. And then ask — if you could do this over again – what would you do?
Sometimes a response comes quickly . . . sometimes I sit grieving with my Earlier Self and wondering what could I have done. But, the very act of Being With . . . is rebuilding more than I know.
Once I feel clear on what I wish I had done . . . I make it my Intention. Somehow that helps. I have rebuilt or maybe re-welcomed a Locked up Part of me. It is a beginning. And that beginning ripples out — wider and deeper than I know.
Here is a poem after Centering:
Intentions are outside of Time
I didn’t know that
Maybe I still don’t
How can that be?
Because Intentions reside in a
Deeper Safer Place
Oh😊 I like that!
We are always connected
And we can go back
Via Courage and Compassion
To Dark Spots and gently ask
Our younger Frozen self
Now that I am with you
Let us imagine
What we MIGHT have done?
It may come in a flash
Of knowing
Or perhaps we need to stay there with
The Wounded/Wounding One
Stay until SHE CAN imagine a better response
And then choose that as her INTENTION
BUT, does that change anything?
It is THE START OF CHANGING
And its Power Ripples
Throughout the DEPTH
Story teller,
A Moment with God
