Something

Something's got a hold on me.
Something cold and dark.
It started with a simple thought 
Then took over mind and heart.

Image result for Uncontrolled, confusion, fatigue
Something is weighing me down.
Holding me back from moving forward
Lost to that something that causes me to move away each time I make a move toward home.

That something inside says that I am wrong. That home is lost and not worth going back again. 
That something continues to whisper. "It will only cause pain and anguish, to see the ravaged war I've waged." 
Stay in that something. That is what I hear. It is the only comfortable place.

Really, that's not true! 

The hardest step is moving away from that something that has haunted you. 
Something, will always be there. 
Unless time is taken to recognize the chains that can be removed. The captive can be set free.

When that is done. One can truly see the power that something had; really doesn't have to be so easily found at home in me!

Get up, get out, and stay out of the weeds

Often times I let my mind linger in the weeds. Lost in a pasture of things that don't really matter.  The things that need my time; The heart, the promise of peace, the joy that comes from a new born babies cry. The sadness of leaving behind the love of a lifetime to but start another adventure.  The things that tie us down and require something of us these are the things that matter the least. They are time drains. In these times the power is given to avoid.  All of these are but experience. Things that let us know that we are alive. Things that whisper that only life can bring. In these the simple things do we find the things that matter most!  Now is the time to build relationships. Now is the time to answer the call. Now is the time to climb out of the weeds and focus on the heart and the simple things prepared for man.

Listen

Listen  Sit back and you will hear the sounds of people running here and there.  All are caught up with worldly lives Forgetting what matters most Yet, All around the sounds are very clear, Clarity is the voice of peace.  Trust opens doors that  were shut And opens communication that calls on all those fighting to cease. Too often conflict arises due to misunderstanding.  To tell  a different story.  Reaction causes one another to lash out. In turn giving way to deception and fear.  the effort of peace and trust is lost. Leaving one to hope for cooler heads to prevail. Then once again to start down the road hoping to achieve some unity.

Learn From Opportunity

It is easy to find the answer when one is on the outside looking in. It is easy to be aware when not affected by outcomes. Somethings are easier left unsaid when not caught up in the emotions and fear of consequence.  It is easy to walk in the trail that others have carved. The life not lived is easy to find fault of. In the moment when decisions must be made it is easy to do what others might expect.  Now is the time to act, not to be acted upon. Be that person who looks on the heart of a man, take the opportunity to walk in his shoes. Seek to be the trailblazer rather than the vast many stuck in the ruts of life struggling to see a way out of the pain of history's mistakes.
