Stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, even agoraphobia,( avoidance of all social situations) are all very real and happen to almost everyone at some point in life. All to greater or lesser degrees, at any given time. Some justify anxiety, some deny depression, some may not even be aware of it because IT is such a common part of their lives that it just seems natural.
I have lived with anxiety for as long as I can remember. The funny thing is I didn’t know it. It wasn’t until the same sort of things kept recurring in my life that I figured it wasn’t all coincidence.
The following is a poem I would like to share that I wrote about 30 years ago as my life was beginning to unfold.
Looking through my minds eye I see,
a mystical being that seemed very familiar to me.
There was no face, no shape, no solidity to his frame
Although I had this overwhelming feeling he and I were the same.
Suddenly I was standing in a large prism of glass,
On every angled crystal was a reflection of my past.
I was hit with a flood of my every emotion,
Love, wonder, hate fear, and devotion.
The room suddenly grew dark as in the blink of an eye,
There was only one section left giving off any light.
I looked through the glass unable to believe what I was seeing,
My young mother giving birth to me, and beside stood the being.
The room faded to complete darkness, then echoed with these words.
It was the most thrilling, chilling story I had ever heard.
I am your soul, your life key, your thesis.
At the moment of birth I was shattered to pieces.
Every part of your life that you have just witnessed
was all preparation. What will you do with the rest?
I woke suddenly to the ringing of the phone.
My soul, the prism, where had it all gone?
A voice boomed over the line, there are two things left to say
You’ve got what it takes, and today is a new day.
I guess why I shared this is because it is a perfect flow into other things I will be talking about in the coming posts. Until then, know that you were created in the image of perfection. Don’t dread the bad days and give them power over all the good days you’ve had, and will have.
Peace and love
