Release

The call comes from dark memory


Only whispers of time gone by

That direct the curiosity, the reason,

And implore action, wisdom, sincerity

To lift the spirit in a wider circle

Than has before gone out from the mind

For such magic to bring into balance

To hold fast resistance to destruction

Will indeed hold humanity on the brink

Of its own fate, where the majority begins

To open its eyes and see a new reality

Not of fear, not of annihilation, but of love,

Where even the skeptical who cling to doubt

Must give the assent and acknowledge

That the enemy is not our fellow man

But our own hatred, our own insecurity,

And this is from whence evil stems.

But can we let go of these distresses,

Our delight in the ego, demand to be right

Perhaps we will see the Light

In all our fellow beings to exist in harmony.

Change

The statement that you shouldn’t expect different results when you do things the same way is something that helps us on our Life Path. If we are going over the same old ground, we cannot expect different and positive outcomes with the things we do. Change must happen for us to succeed where we have failed in the past.
Change is not always easy. We must look at what we have done in the past and decide with intention to do better, to do differently. It may not be obvious to us at the moment what that change will have to be. We may have to look at any given situation critically, even to ask others for their opinions, but once we have identified what our stumbling block is, we can consciously go forth changing our actions.

We may have to try more than one thing before we find what will work for us. We may have to dig into our own past, identify what has hurt us and what our limitations have been in order to see what we really need to do. We may have to say, “this is the problem,” before we can actually act on making things better. Once we do, it may be easier to see what changes we need to make and easier to actually make them.
May you be richly blessed.
