In The Meantime ...

I have absolute faith that for those of us that choose, the way of peace will be ours completely ... and soon.

In the meantime we have to remind ourselves, that there is still work to be done, and obstacles to overcome before our path is clear.

I feel that I have advanced well along the road to utopia, but even for me the way is still a little bumpy. And this is how it is ... until it all comes together.

When I come upon a challenge, or an obstacle in my way, I ask myself, why has this happened ... what do I need to change ... what do I need to strenghthen, in my beliefs, or actions.

The answers come readily now. And I have learnt to accept that anything out of my control, I can not change. But I can change the things that directly affect me. I do this by stepping back, and looking at the situation. If it requires action ... I take it ... or if I need to speak up ... I do. But I have learnt to do these things in the right manner.  By being honest with myself and others in a mutually respectful way, I find the situation soon resolves itself, and the burden falls away ...

Hang on in there all you dear people whose path is still rocky - the stones will be cleared away ...
