Devouring the Thick
"The world is waiting," she told me. "You're a trailblazer. You don't walk the path, or find the path, you bludgeon through the thick and create it. God has obliged you. He keeps creating the thick for you to devour!"
Occasionally, I am reminded of my significance and capabilities. It has been nearly one year since my "awakening," when all the pieces came together and my perspective on life got turned on its ass. And if you can imagine your brain getting emptied out and rearranged without you participation- it leaves one a bit disoriented on their path in life.
All of the humbling, heartbreaking, shocking experiences over the last two years have left me peaceful. Not numb, or angry...As I swallow one painfully toxic dose of life after another I am gradually removed from the necessity to suffer from loss and failure.
Kahlil Gibran said, "The deeper that sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain... Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears."
...while the pain still exists- I need not be contorted or crushed by it, but rather transformed through it. A tremendous amount of energy, from many places and people, were put into those things which caused me pain- and through learning a bit of life Judo, it seems appropriate to deflect all that input into some extraordinary output.
