From an amazing selection (source noted below), we are promised that “

We
will begin to feel and will come to know the vastness of our emotions, but we
will not be slaves to them,” and with “the ability to forgive
ourselves, our families, and the world, our choices will expand.”  ahhh, those words are like a soothing lullabye to my heart.

Feeling my feelings without being hypnotized into thinking they are facts–what a gift that is.  However, I still am stuck asking myself that question–is this a feeling or a fact?  Why am I frozen in fear?  What is it I fear?  Or why am I angry all of a sudden?  For me, It takes study of my feelings, honoring them, allowing them space and writing and walks and talks to see what is at the core.

And with love and patience, I can sail through my feelings, coming to right action.  One of my favorite feelings is loving the Divine.  Driving over the lake, gazing at the mountain, chanting “Deva Deva Deva” to sing praises to the natural Goddesses who love my home and fill me with the gift of grace.
