HOLDING PATTERN

WHAT'S GOING ON? That could be the title of this blog. I thought maybe I would just skip blogging today. I don't know what I have to say. But then, I am alive and breathing, I must have something to say.

It seems that I am in some kind of holding pattern. But it is not a stable condition. Sometimes I see Paradise. Sometimes I have my head in the toilet. Reminds me of that old song, "Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, oh yes Lord. Sometimes I'm almost to the ground................" The difference is, from some periods in the past, I can readily get out of it. I know how. I can pause, say some affirmations to myself and choose to love. Sometimes I am stubborn though, as if I choose to wallow in self pity or other morose feelings.

On one hand it feels like there is a great change going to happen in the world momentarily, on the other hand, it feels like we are going to have to put up with this world's craziness forever.

As I write this I can feel my mood lifting. In the last forty years, or so, I have developed a great faith in mankind's ability to evolve positively. When I am not too stubborn to look I can see the light growing and I can feel the guidance of an intelligence of Unconditional Love. I KNOW we are going to break through this veil of darkness and walk in the Light.

It is amazing, that I can know that I create everything in my mind, yet, I am willing to let negative thoughts drive my perception. Okay, I won't do it. I can pull the curtain back, at least, enough to get a glimpse of paradise.

When I look out at my world and I am not happy with what I see, I can make an effort to change what affronts me. If that is not possible, I can change my perception. I can always find something to love. I can always see some positive in a situation. Sometimes I stubbornly refuse to, I choose misery instead. That would be especially possible if the issue involves another person I am having an ego struggle with.  {Oh no Gregg! You wouldn't be like that, would you?} Well, perfection has eluded my so far. Anyway we are not here to learn perfection, we are here to learn love. I am not sure perfection is possible in these bodies. I know we can learn to love, though.

We can always choose love. What a relief, to emerge from the swamp, and know that love is always available. Everything is a learning experience. We are in this together. We are one.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
