I Promise

I promise:

so my directive now is to love my way though this moment, forgiving as I go, and to change my own perception of the world all along the way. This is my perception of the world, as difficult this is to accept right now — but I have projected it in to existence and it’s my role to heal my mind of all it is that disturbs it, cleansing myself of the fear surrounds me.

the responsibility is always mine.

it’s a tall order, and one I’m not sure I’m actually up to — is it possible to forgive my way to a better world, to see through the illusion of so much hurt and dismay? I’ll be honest, I don’t know and there’s a part of me that doesn’t even want to try. It’a easier to blame others, and I find myself tempted to place my focus on the outer world and seek to change people, to yell at friends and neighbors to wake up before we’re all consumed by our collective fear.

but I know that it will never work.

no one is healed that way.

and most certainly that’s what we need, healing, individually and then collectively so. It begins with me, it always begins with me because there is nowhere else to ever go. I will heal myself of every once of fear that is projected outward to the world.

I will do my part.

I promise.
