Is the Sky really falling?

Posted Oct 26, 2009 04:56 PM
Today - for some reason - I actually took a nap! Usually, I am unable to do so because of all the mind chatter in my head.

Well, I when I woke up, the story, "The Sky is Falling" came to me after reading Ellie's weekly newsletter. It did not have anything to DO with anything in the newsletter - it was like just the READING of it, made this story pop into my head. I had to look up it's origin and meaning - found this link in Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sky_Is_Falling_%28fable%29

Okay, so the meaning for ME personally, is both of the possible morals listed: 1) Do not be a "Chicken" AND 2) DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR!

This has significant meaning to me in relation to our current situation. (That of being told we will lose our home - and running around in constant fear of imminent disaster lurking just around the next corner.)

As long as I am living "IN FEAR," rather than THROUGH it, I feel paralyzed and unable to accomplish anything productive at all. But if I listen to my inner wisdom, which tells me, "The sky is NOT Falling!" (or that this is not the end of my world/life) - I am then able to take positive action.

Packing becomes an adventure to relish. The prospect of "moving" into the UNKNOWN becomes less scary. In fact, it can actually be fun!

(Not sure my conscious mind has actually GOT this message yet.....but my SPIRIT HAS, and that is the thing that will save me from myself! :)

With Love and Joy,
Becky

...And the beat goes on...and the beat goes on....
I wonder why there were no comments to this particular post. Here it is, over a year past. So much has changed. Most of the time, I feel liberated from last year's trauma. And then, there are times when I dream, that ghosts from the past seem to haunt me. When that happens, I feel the hurts all over again. Of course, I get busy with life and the moment passes. I just think maybe I have shoved the pains under the rug - so to speak - and not really allowed the healing to take place.

I am reminded of the phrase, "Wherever you go, there you are." You cannot run away from yourself....
