COURAGE & TRUST
Do not spend your days in fear, my child.Life is too short.'Bad' things can happen to you and those you love. Yes. (I do not want you to be blind to the darkness in this world. Your trust must be grounded in reality, not dreams.
The world is challenging but the world can be overcome.)I want you to shine your light, brightly, despite thedarkness.Must you live in constant anxiety, dread, tension?It is not necessary, my child, despite what they say.
Do not waste your time fearing the 'bad' things in this world, but cultivate the willingness to face them head-on. Look your fears in their own frightened eyes. Use every crisis as an opportunity to wake up, every accident as a chance to surrender, every shock as an invitation to presence.
Know that any 'bad' thing can be overcome, transformed, healed, with love and patience and awillingness to let go.It is all for you.Know that one day you will look back at the 'bad' things and realise they were neither 'bad' nor 'good' - they were invitations to deeper healing. Unexpected turnings.
Strange gifts from a vast intelligence.And they led you here. And you are stronger now, a little wiser; your priorities clearer.And your feet are firmly planted on this good earth.And I am here with you.I will teach you courage, and trust.
- Jeff Foster
