The nearer the dawn, the darker the night.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Someone called me today because of some situations occurring in their life that appeared to be beyond their ability to maintain a place of peace. I know that many are in situations right now where having an attitude of calm and peace seems very difficult. I dont feel that I have any sure solutions, but I do know that we each have the answers within ourselves. Finding those answers may seem to be an impossible task, but they are present within.
It seems that for the past year there have been many changes happening within our homes, our jobs, our families and within ourselves. It can be very difficult not to fall into a sense of helplessness and despair. I can’t remember experiencing such sudden and intense challenges as those we are faced with now. It may seem that the solutions that we are seeking are beyond, far beyond, our ability to meet them. We must choose to hang onto our faith in the goodness of life, to hang on tightly refusing to let go of our dreams and desires because the dawn is coming with the new day.
In the night our challenges are clearly present. The darkness obscures the answer form clarity and truth. But no matter how dark the night…the dawn is in the next moment and that moment brings our answer. Do not allow the darkness to take your strength, to dismiss your peace, to diminish your faith. Instead allow this time of darkness to build your faith, to replenish your peace, to propel you over into greater heights of joy and renewal. Continue to meditate, to pray, to build your consciousness of positive, loving and compassionate thoughts. Let go of your concentration on the darkness, the challenges, the frustrations, and the despair and instead focus on the dawn that brings the answers, provides the solutions, that heals the pain and sadness. Move through those things that would take your joy, persevere and let the light enfold you…embrace you comfort you.
We are not alone. We are joined and supported by celestial beings. We are encouraged to move through these times to acquire greater empowerment, greater abundance and greater joy. Nothing is impossible for those who are willing to receive. It is our time to open our hearts, minds and spirits to receive. Once we are past the dark challenges that seem to have confronted us, we receive the blessings that have always been there for us. We can then realize the strength that we possess; the peace that has been nurtured and grown; the compassion that has expanded; the power to manifest all things.
Let us prepare for the dawn
Blessings,
