STAND
Hide! My mind screams as they come into the room. Quick go, too away! Don’t let them see you, for how can you help? Do you really think you can help these people rushing in? Here they are begging, and pleading, for a grain of hope or knowledge. As doubt, races in you are gripped with fear, and insecurity. Questioning the things you know and are able to share, a reading, a vision, a healing, a feeling, even if only compassion.
A wise friend once told me that to help is to be helped. To heal one must be healed. To have confidence one must be strong, and brave. I thought on this a while and decided it is more to stand. Stand on what Spirit speaks to my spirit. Stand on what I know to be the truth, and believe that Spirit does know best. I am not saying I am ready to scale the walls, I am saying I am ready to stand. Like the babe that I am. When my time has come, and I am standing well I will take my first big step into the world I have come to know as home. Today by sharing my fear and my heart, I have lifted my foot on my way to my first big step. My all of us who are crawling together learn to stand. Soon we will all, be running across this place we call home, not hiding in our cups hoping not to be seen. Thank you all for sharing your experiences with me and may Grace be with you always.
