Transitioning to a new

We each transition differently.  Some cry, some kick, some yell.  Some even get quiet and spend time looking to heaven for the answers that they seek.  Within each of ourselves there is a time when it is okay to just be.  To just be ourselves and to find comfort from within.  Transition is a place where all that once was accepted is no longer, where what was safe is now too drastically different to be the same.  As our wings emerge and we find solace in the company of friends, work, play, hurt, joy, drink, food, or anything thing that brings comfort, we discover more about ourselves.  We find what boundaries we need to create and what is acceptable.  With each passing moment the tears that flow, the anger that flairs or the pain that pulsates like a heartbeat reminds us we are alive and that the journey we have embarked upon is just beginning.

Others have their way of handling the stress.  The advice that is offered like tissues passes through us.  We hear with an ear, a closed heart, and a mind that is so cluttered nothing more can fit.  It is when we are able to shut down and turn off ourselves that we can discover who remains.  Strip yourself of all comforts and what are you left with?  You are left with the ability to discover new comforts, new abilities, newness that can only be appreciated once all is lost.  We all transition from time to time.  We transition jobs, spouses, friends, kids, and now it is time to transition ourselves.  More and more people are coming of an age where what was acceptable is no longer tolerable.  This is a scary thought at first.  It means that there is nothing left except hope, faith and trust in powers that are no our own.

To agree that the power we seek lies within and that time will heal what is raw today, brings close to no comfort.  The common response is “How do you learn to find joy when you are only left with hurt and anger and a sense of nothingness?”  Nothingness is an emptiness is so easy to feel, but hard to explain or put into words that fully describe the lack that was once filled with such happiness and joy. Know that the emptiness that you are feeling is only temporary.  It is a feeling of loss that needs to be filled.  When you ask the angels to come to your aid and fill the void, clear the energy that once was, that you no longer need, you are able to begin to heal.  To clear out takes time and motivation.  

When we bask in the nothingness, we feel useful and yet empty.  It gives us purpose to feel low.  It gives us a crutch or a reason to feel as awful as we do.  Look within.  Look deep within to discover the secret as to why all is lost or is slipping away through your fingers like sand, like water on a rainy day.  There is a lesson to behold.  There is story behind this.  We don’t chose to feel pain or hurt.  We are not here to feel awful.  We are here to move forward.  We are here to move and feel.  To feel the love and joy.  We are to smile and feel love from within.

You are love.  Even when you feel alone, when you feel scared for the future, when you don’t want to move forward because things may not appear to be safe, the angels are watching over you.  The angels see further than you do.  It may appear as if there is a fog and it is dense.  This is just the perception you hold.  The fog is merely a mist.  It is a mist of what is yet to become.  Clear away the cobwebs, the clutter, the thoughts and the feelings and see what could be if you choose.  You always have choices.  You always have the ability to discover more.
