Holy smokes!
Awoke with a flash of insight so bright
As to illuminate my spirit immeasurably!
My inner strengths did not implode, after all!
It just looked that way and felt that way, so …
I assumed that's what happened until ...
Today, when this insight came to mind:
I remembered that two situations, which seem alike
When life feels dark, may prove very different after
Time has passed and sound reason exists
To reconsider initial perceptions that prove to be misconceived
Due to the fact that surface judgements had been made in haste
Rather than imploding ...
My strengths had sound reason to submerge …
Diving ever more intently into the depths of my mind in hopes of
Penetrating the defensive wall that separates
My conscious mind from the mental block that
Lurks, ghostlike, within my subconscious
As you shall see in posts yet to come
This ghost-like presence proceeded to stalk my mind, relentlessly
Until instinct signaled my attitude of NGUOUY to arise and
Thank God for that, because
As weeks passed, my dogged determination to identify
Whatever was scaring me half to death
Coaxed my defensive wall to
Develop a new crack through which
One vital detail, concerning self discovery
Slipped into my conscious mind … suggesting that
The submergence of strength of spirit and mind
Had worked in tandem to free up one specific fear that's
Haunted me, unknowingly, since I was a teen!
Gosh! I'm still amazed to see how
One insight leads to the next until
A lengthy train of thought pulls into a station where
The heavy weight of a particular piece of baggage
Is identified, and once a particular source of
Stress is identified and unloaded
Confusion and self doubt, born that particular fear, will not
Distress my wearied mind to distraction, again!
And though I'm eager to disclose the detail that
Pinpointed my most recent (and last) bout with that fear …
Insight into effective story telling suggests that I
Reveal the paralyzing nature of this fear
In the same geyser-like way that insight shot out of me …
So rather than ending today's post
With such an eye opening reveal
I'll leave you to ponder a riddle, instead:
Riddle:
If natural instinct had sucked my strengths into the darkest corner of my brain in hopes of diving ever more deeply into my subconscious until insight into a forgotten memory brightened my conscious mind just enough to spotlight a fear, which, until that moment, had remained unnamed, then what actually imploded instead of highly disciplined, well practiced strengths?
Need a hint? Okay, here's one, served up on a silver platter:
That which actually imploded
Caused my vulnerability to feel transparently exposed :)
