Running to Home

I decided to ride with my sister to Houston to get her sister for our granny Emma’s going. She drove, I rode, it was cool.

She used to be scared to look over her shoulder for fear of moving the wheel and hitting something. No matter how many times I told her to try, she wouldn’t. Sitting in the backseat I saw her look over her left shoulder before switching lanes and it brought a little joy to my heart. She worked on that little weakness and is just doing the thing. PAUSE

At our core, under all gucky ego, we are that Divine spark, the connection to the ALL. It made me think about our relationship with Divine, about how God could be teaching us things that are beneficial for us in the long run. We could be so wrapped up in fear that we run from perfecting beneficial things like compassion, trust, discipline, etc…

We can only run so long before we’re forced to exercise it “on our own”. Just as I was her teacher God is ours, quietly nudging us to do things that will be beneficial for us. She didn’t choose to do it in mine but had no choice but to learn in her own car. Sometimes we refuse to do what we’re being told until we have to use the things we ran from to get us back, more/less self discipline, boundaries, responsibilities, etc.),

The difference with me and God is that I’m not always with her but Divine is always within us. God never leaves us despite what we may feel. We feel on our own because we’ve ran so far. The presence can always be felt if you are willing to look for it.

Face and defeat your fears by exercising from the level of where you’re headed. Analyze and work on your weak points in order to strengthen you. May all Beings be happy, may all Beings be joyful, may all Beings be in peace and may the troubles of our suffering be removed.
