Much of our journey involves learning about power. We learned about the powers we don’t have, the power to control others, sometimes ourselves, and fate.
We discover our true power, the power to take an endless journey into freedom and love.
We experiment with many kinds of power along the way. The power of authority, .the power of money, the power of prestige. power of control, power of rage, anger, intimidation.
We see many kinds of negative powers, manipulation, deceit, fraud. We see people trying to steal from others. We see people letting others take their power away, crawling into shells, hiding and being dragged along by others.
We see that many forms of power are illusions. Money goes just so far. Prestige is fleeting, popularity holds no immunity from life’s experiences.
Control is only momentary.
We trudge the road searching for power, learning about our own.
Somewhere on the journey, we begin to see the truth. It awakens quietly within us, shaking our soul, transforming our vision, teaching us what we knew all along.
The power that lasts, the power that stays is the power of the heart.
Stillness, faith, gentlenesss, kindness, compassion, joy, forgiveness, comfort, vulnerability, honesty, courage and love. Now we’re talking about
power. – Melody Beattie
