Words of hope from my dearest mentor Denise Linn.
3AM this morning. I’m sitting in a dark room, lit by one flickering candle. Outside a light dusting of snow softens the landscape. Everything is so still.
In the stillness, I can feel a shift of energy. It feels like a wave that has receded to the vast sea is returning to the shore. The frequency increases until it becomes a roar in my soul that seems to reverberate throughout the Universe. A myriad of images - of this last year of the pandemic - spins through my heart. Images of hospitals, nursing homes, unattended funerals, empty streets and so much more – thousands upon thousands of swirling images sifted from the collective unconsciousness descend upon me.
My own life and those around me has been spared in this last year, but in this moment my awareness expands in all directions. During the pandemic, I’ve been so focused on those close to me, that I wasn’t fully aware of the enormity of the suffering of so many . . . until now. A tidal wave of emotion pummels me as the grief, the dismay, and the hopelessness that so many experienced over these last twelve months fills me. A damn of emotions bursts and I start to sob. And sob. And sob.
I’m left empty. And in the quietude, I hear these words. “Have faith.”
“Believe that there will be joy after the tears, there will be ease after the pain and the sun will always rise again. Believe that everything will work out, and that good will triumph. Believe in the power of kindness and especially believe in the power of love. Have faith that the future will shine bright and glorious.”
It’s still dark outside as I send this to you in this early morning, but the glow in my heart flows out to you. Sending you blessings for a beautiful day. Here’s to having faith!
