Waiting To Be Roused
Nancy Tabah wrote "Life is a journey, a pilgrimage, a sacred adventure. Within everyone's inner solitude, there is a bright and warm hearth where the spirit dwells waiting to be roused." I love the way she puts that. This life we live is like a surprise gift, an adventurous package, all wrapped up, waiting to be opened. Forest Gump said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." But if you don't open the box, you'll never taste any part of it. Whatever our fears are, whatever our obstacles, whatever mountains we face; they're all part of the "sacred adventure."
This life was meant for us to live and enjoy. Solomon wrote, "eat, drink, and be merry ... enjoy your work." It's the onslaught of negativity that covers over the spirit within us. Someone I know once described themselves as a "radical revolutionary." That has a nice ring to it. Where do you fit into all of this? What rouses your spirit? What is calling you? What part of the life you are living kills your spirit? Find that "bright and warm hearth" within your soul and warm your heart up to the sacred adventure set before you.Greg Tutwiler, CCLC, BCPC
