I’ve known for a while now; maybe for a few months or so, that something is taking place, and it is not coming directly from me… I’m being prepared for something. It’s clear that these preparations are happening systematically and are continuously sent by someone or something- the Universe… I’m sure of this, for what I’m being introduced to, and gently pushed to do, isn’t on my conscious choice list. I’ve always been terrified of public speaking. Leading or supervising larger groups isn’t on my goal list, either. Yet, that’s exactly what I am being asked to do. And as I get more comfortable with it, my confidence and presence is more noticeable. Well, at least that’s what I’ve been told. Not only that, but my deep and untamed emotions have been given quite a number of lessons; I could say, probably adding up to course work worth a Ph.D.!… These real and active parts of my existence, understand their place. I know where to unleash them, and so they go on their merry way. The place, of course, is here. This is their stage. They can shout out their truth, as loudly or as softly as they please. But they no longer have a voice in my daily living; that microphone is held by me… Where is this process leading me? What is it? I don’t know, and I don’t want to guess. Predictions create narrow possibilities. It’s better to leave it as wide open as intended. And what’s special about me? There are many that own real talents, gifts, and intellect; I’m sure they could do a much better job. But if I AM the “chosen” one. Then, I must take it seriously. For it always felt like I have some protective light around me. I think we all do! However, we must connect to it. Listen deeply and believe… It appears with every emotion we declare, every truth we tell, every dream we project. There is a voice and a tap on the shoulder just to make sure we’re doing exactly what we should be doing…Some call it intuition. Others the inner voice… or God, or Universe… Doesn’t matter what one calls it, just plug in, and go where it prepares you to go.
