DISCERNING THE REAL FROM THE IMAGINED

One of the challenges

we (each and all) face

is discerning and separating

that which is real,

from that which we imagine.

May you find within,

again and again,

the ability to learn and apply

the wisdom and guidance

liberated by discernment.

To know when it is wise to be tolerant of yourself and others

and when tolerance is to be set aside,

and a firmness of backbone

placed in your stride

as you move toward,

literally lean into and call forth your compassion,

to be more fully present with your own discomfort

and the discomforts of others.

May the gifts you unwrap from this life lived

be to see all the inbreeding falseness

in the painful beliefs

me,

you,

our brothers

and our sisters

still cling to

so closely,

so tightly

within.

One method to approach discernment is to realize that the words we each choose to birth and bring forth into this world either create a movement towards separation or a movement towards unity and wholeness. When separation is manifest, it is our most explicit means for then inquiring inwardly and discovering those beliefs that feed on our own fear, that breed the need for commanding and controlling whatever it is we are imagining.
