DESPAIR

2020, DESPAIR, FAITH, SELF WORTH, THE LIGHT

DESPAIR, 2020 MAY 21

What is it to Despair? 

It is more than being un-paired from High Self. 

It is a condition of silence. 

Possibly, you don't recognize silence. Possibly, this is because you do your very best to fill your time, your days, your spaces, with sounds and textures that distract you from what you might otherwise give your focus.

To Despair is to lose Faith, even temporarily. It is to lose self-worth. It is to lose sight of what is possible, favoring instead an outlook of what might be probable in a mortal, limited, and final sense, abjuring to everything that is negative.

To Despair is to suffer; it is to render oneself blind, deaf, and dumb. To Despair is to sing away the sweetness of All, even when bounty is present. Yet, to say that Despair is always a condition of choice would be cruel.

Sometimes, life circumstances grow temporarily larger than the Spirit's ability to frame the reference in the largest scope and field where it may be viewed. Sometimes, a condition is met before the conscious mind is quite ready to deal with all it brings. What then do you do?

Know this: Despair is paired with its own undoing. As darkness falls, so lifts the light. 

When you wake in the dark and cannot see, remember that you have other senses on which you may rely. Use them.

Does this Despair feel real? How deep is it? Are you in this room alone? What brought you here? What conditions might summon you, or Despair, away?

Let the undoing that is paired with Despair do its work. Do as the three blind men did when surveying the elephant: its trunk, its body, and its tail. Despair has a personality. It has packed a bag by which it comes calling. What is in that bag?

Are you currently in visitation with Despair? Do as the blind, and study its condition by your other senses. Unpack its bag and inventory what Despair has brought calling. You may not see the approach of dawn, but listening closely, you will hear the birds in the glen herald its approach.

Blessed Be This Day
