Mercy

The past few weeks have been fun and full of travel for me, but as for the work I'd like to keep up with, the work of healing the soul, they've been dry. At least where this style of expressing my thoughts is concerned, a mild writer's block seems to be nagging at me. In the other manifestation of thoughtfulness, the internal voices, the opposite is waging: a veritable war keeps demanding my attention.

I wished in this life that I could have made some sort of friendship with that internal media, but the best I've been able to achieve reliably is my own sense of maintainable integrity and the commitment to balance. Practically any friendship I try to hold on to in that area of life is mixed with confusion and insult. This is why I entitle this post “Mercy.”

You are the persons I trust most in life. There are apparently four of you who regularly read my posts; I know who two of you are, at least. But as I said in my very first post, I have learned to respect the nature of true angels in Heaven, and I know they can access our Internet as a sub-branch of their own communicative media. I know “you,” meaning the sum total of whom I address here, include you who play guardian roles at that level of Earth.

It sounds like I might be asking mercy in a specific way, but in fact, I'm simply sharing my thoughts with those who are closest to and mean the most to me. Mercy is such an important part of healing. Be it given or received, be it respected in a general fashion, it helps us to transcend pessimism and anger.

The need for mercy in my own life and in the world as I know it, does at least from my perspective appear within. I only wish to offer this prayer that mercy is helpful to all who participate with its nature. Let us rejoice rather than indulge evil attitudes; let us love life; let us be caring in our respect for self, for the people we are with, for our neighbors, and even for life as a principle that in so many ways reaches far beyond our imaginations.

These are my thoughts for the moment. Hopefully this writer's block is temporary and resolvable. Thank you again, beloved friends and companions in this journey. You are the folks who make life so worth living.
