What is Required of Me Today?

Image Credit: dndankele

Keep calm, don’t worry, stay alert, and listen. What is the higher calling required of me, to serve my purpose right now, right here? What will I face today? Where will my path lead? What difference can I make that is positive, encouraging, and uplifting for someone who may not even know that they need it?

I can’t get thrown off
being distracted by the distractions
where worry replaces calm
like deeply pitted pains of contractions
as I look inward
deciding the approach to my reactions
the things that don’t fit
aren’t additions but subtractions.

Stop, watch, look, feel, and listen.

  5. Oh my sweet Dawn, I appreciate your kind and encouraging words my dear. Oh how I agree, opportunities arise every day, we just have to stop and pay attention to them, because they can be great or small. Can you imagine everyone doing this each day, forming a more united front, empowering not dismantling humanity. Oh girl, the possibilities. πŸ™πŸΌ Have a wonderful and blessed day too! πŸ€—πŸ’–πŸŒž

  7. Ya, a cushion… On the “Island of Sea Women” in Korea, they made them so they strapped onto your butt, so you could shift around on the sand to gather seaweed and it would stay with you ~ we need that kind! (Thinking it’s gonna be a little hard to turn them into a modern western fashion statement, though…)

  19. Kym you are one wise lady!!! Looking inward so that we can better tap into issues is the honestly heroic of you and anyone else that does that. We live in such a selfish society and it’s breathtaking to be around folks such as yourself.

  20. Belladonna, you grip my heart sistah. πŸ€—πŸ’–πŸ₯° Yes girl, our society teaches us to be self-absorbed, but it can quickly waft into self-centeredness and extreme selfishness as you noted. I appreciate you because we are cut from the same piece of fabric and you imbue the same spiritual qualities my dear! Thank you for that! πŸ˜˜πŸ’žπŸ˜Ž
