I pause to listen.
The air is bright, clear and beautiful, broken only by the slightest shadow of a bird in flight. The crispness is invigorating and the blue sky winks with the faintest hint of white, wispy clouds. The security of faith and joy surround me like impenetrable armor. With each deep breath oxygen enters and my blood flows strongly through my body. I am at peace. I am thankful. I am blessed. My body feels better than it has in years and my mind has shed the shackles! Freedom and hope race through me like happy toddlers. The vision portion of my brain, tired of being squashed behind fear and fatigue, has elbowed it's way to the front of my consciousness. It has thrown off the deep, dark void that engulfed it. The elixir of joy is my morning tea, filling my heart, feeding my soul and relaxing my mind. Embracing peace, life has once again become vibrant! The heavy cloak of monotony, mediocrity, and survival has been replaced with the lightest gossamer of trust, blessings, joy, happiness, abundance, belief and hope.
The renewal of faith over fear has thrown open the windows in my heart that were locked, dark and dusty. My mind swirls once again in technicolor; bold, beautiful yellows, vibrant greens, cerulean blues, pinks, reds and turquoise. The black and gray are necessary, but no longer play center stage, dousing the other colors. New vision fills my soul as if being projected on a drive-in movie screen, larger than life. Dreams erupt like fireworks and belief captures the brilliance.
The past few months have birthed transformation and multiplied faith. There will always be darkness and light, as one is impossible without the other, but now light abounds. I dance and my heart sings in the radiance. The darkness and fear, though present, no longer control. Burden, necessity, doubt and survival have resumed their proper places in the dictionary and no longer occupy space in my mind. Each morning begins, as it should, with joy and a beautiful red bow, ready to be unwrapped as the gift it is.
I pause to listen and am at peace.
