Fear, Life and Love
Reading imparts thoughts, ideas, mental murmurings, reflections. Some become “our own” as we assimilate from different sources. Sometimes we even remember to give “credit” to the author. Some I’ve credited because they were a “Bam” message to me, others were quiet gathered introspections. Pooh and Piglet walking along…” what’s your favorite day?” Asks Piglet. “This one” says Pooh.

“What happens from here, now, is unknown. The future is shrouded to us all, even an artificial intelligence capable of modeling tens of thousands of scenarios per second cannot predict our future.

There is absolutely nothing “wrong” about looking ahead, making plans for tomorrow! All the myriad of possibilities of the near or far future lie ahead. This one day, today, is the beginning of all possibilities… Love, joy, struggles, pain, and heartache, sadness, and death. All the possible human emotions and situations, all the opportunities of Life! Life, That option for God and Us to experience and learn.

You’re facing that fear with courage.” We live, we work, and we die, but for what? For the chance to allow some light to shine through into this dark world, to work to brighten the path for those we love! And so.. let the light in. Focus your thoughts on the light, not the dark possibilities. Question your perspective of what’s ahead. How do you want to see your future? What emotion; what frame of the world do you carry and live in? Is your world view framed in fear or love? “We have this one life to appreciate the Grand Design of the universe.”. Which Grand Design do you choose? “This is it “folks, make the most of it!!! Nameste, Chas
