A Choice

Many times, 

I find myself focusing on the Dark potentials of humanity.  

 I become overwhelmed with the horror  

about what we put each other through 

and the sadness and hurt that some endure.  

 Sometimes, I am unable to understand the perpetrators and feel like it is hopeless and too big of a problem to change.  

 I can drown in the dark feelings in my heart and become so closed that I don’t talk to anyone.

But then I remember

 that this is not a problem that I must bear on my own shoulders alone. 

 I remember that God is here.   

We all have the responsibility and ability to become our highest potential.

It is this highest potential in us and others

 worth fighting for.   

Even if we just meditate for 15 minutes each day 

or send healing out there to someone in need,

helps us collectively to grow just a little.
