My darling, what is it that you are afraid of?
I fear rejection.
I fear being misunderstood.
I fear being judged as something I am not.
Those are valid fears my friend. And do you want to know something?
You will be rejected.
You will be misunderstood.
You will be twisted into jaded molds in the minds of those who cannot understand where you have been.
But do you want to know something else?
If you bring yourself to surrender, you will also discover the treasure that you are.
If you continue to spread open your petals and unfold like a lotus, you will find acceptance, you will find unconditional love, and you will one day stumble on a place to call home, far greater than anything this earth could possibly offer.
I hear you fear.
But it’s time to let go.

A Vision of Paradise
I caught a glimpse of heaven. We were all dancing and laughing like children, holding hands and swaying to the ethereal symphony of God. Words didn’t matter. We were all seen through eyes of profound and gracious understanding. We breathed with the same lungs and laughed with the same heart. There was no darkness to silence us. Only life, love, and the holy gathering of every single soul in the universe.

The Bloody Blood in Your Veins
Our Origins Today, I read something I didn't know—one more thing to add to all the other things I didn't know. By the time I grow up, I’ll have a collection. But it was intriguing, and it inspired me to write this post. I hope you enjoy it.
