Fear

Post by Brian mclaughlin » May 2nd, 2016, 8:06 pm

This fear of the unknown,
unwarranted, yet it resides deep within me.
Why am I afraid to live in this moment?
I shrink at the thought of the next,
what tomorrow might bring me.
My future seen through this negative mindset
leaves my mind weak and spirit broken.
My emotions out of control.
Days wasted, worrying of things that haven't
and may never happen.
My life, empty of peace.
Every moment given away
waiting on the worst to present itself.
My negative thoughts
have brought a sickness to my heart
and death to my spirit.
When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak. ~ Audre Lorde

we've all been in those ruts, when the glass is half empty, or maybe even completely empty, and all one can do is stem the tide.....I like to listen to healing meditations on line....some are really terrific at changing my mood....healing light ....that's the ticket
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
