From the abundance of my heart and with true love, and gentleness I  say...I have tasted but a little of what it feels like to get high, but  not the kind of high gotten from drugs, alcohol, sex, or receiving  money; yes those give some form of high, but those of us who have been  on those mountains can also testify of the dark, unpleasant  and  downright soul-shaking valleys we've walked shortly after...some of us  still do. I speak of a high that puts a light in your eyes (almost  speechlessly), that stirs up something real and  true in the soul, that  puts a sudden dance  in your steps, that fill your words with grace,  that moves your heart to love and compassion, and causes your heart to  beat with the rhythm of life, joy, and true freedom...creation is more  beautiful, colors are brighter, music is sweeter...you want to take hold  of it forever and never lose it. I wonder,.. why do those times seem so  delicate? one moment here and the next it's almost like a shadow?  I am  convinced it's because of the chains; for some its external and  internal, for others it's internal, and for some others its external. If  we purely and truly each search within ourselves...we will see them;  some of us are already painfully aware of them.We cannot ignore the  chains... the emptiness? the loneliness? the worries? the fears? the  anxieties? the sadness? They get tighter with time. So how can we break  free? who or what will deliver us?  Can Myself? Father? Mother? Sister?  Brother? Friend? Enemy? Stranger? ...As much as they may love and care,  on my end it has not worked enough so far, how about yours?  Okay wait,  how about Pills? Money? Sex? Food? Suicide? I have only seen chains  replace chains,and you?  Oh no!!  Here comes the cast down look, the  despair and depression...Put your head up, Lift up your eyes, Open your  ears, Listen with your heart...
" Ho! Everyone who thirsts,Come to the waters,
And you who have no money,Come, buy and eat ...
Without money and without price.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Hear, and your soul shall live; And i will make an everlasting covenant (promise, agreement)
with you--
Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD God,
And He will have mercy on him, and to our God, For He will abundantly pardon...
For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace;
The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, and all the trees of the
field shall clap their hands."
I hear the call too...i know and feel the chains within me...they are real
This  is the  call of Christ Jesus...called the Lover of Our souls... and the  one who also said "It is finished."  What? even the past pains, sorrow,  disappointments? even the present? and what about the future?...  "Behold, I make ALL things new".  Why do those who have truly risen up  in courage and taken hold of it with Love and humility pledge their life  to Him?...there is an  answer...because it is tried, tested and   true...in a world where everything is shaky.
This is not religion... No, ...this is LIFE...and here we are
 
Hello.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thoughts here.
Thanks for sharing & visiting. I appreciate the comment.
Daydreaming
When I was born, a twisted angel,
ReplyDeleteone of those who live in the shadow,
said: Go, Carlos! be gauche in life.
The houses spy on men
who chase after women.
The evening might have been blue,
had there not been so many desires.
The streetcar passes by full of legs:
white, black, yellow legs.
My God, my heart asks, why so many legs?
And yet my eyes
question nothing.
The man behind the mustache
is serious, simple and strong.
He seldom talks.
He has a few, rare friends
the man behind the glasses and the mustache.
My Lord, why did you abandon me
since you knew that I wasn't God
since you knew that I was weak.
World, world, vast world,
if my name was Twirled
it'd be a rhyme, it wouldn't be a solution.
World, world, vast world,
even vaster is my heart.
I shouldn't tell you
but this moon
but this cognac
shake a person up like hell
I wish a lovely weekend!
