Today an email friend asked for help and insight - once more the dark night of the soul had descended and the world was seeming so very bleak. I emailed back, but I have also written the answer here. This question may be the catalyst for my answer to go out and reach someone else in need. And so two have joined together to help another, perhaps even you - and that is beautiful!
Dear One,
Oh boy, join the crowd. There are those most awful periods and days that seem so bleak. So here is what I do - I put one foot in front of the other and follow the 'steps' I learned 'by rote'!. I simply keep doing, meditating, asking just they way I have studied and practiced before -even though it seems a struggle at the moment. I focus on the moment - the taste of the coffee, the smell of the fresh air, the interesting people around me and what they are doing. I focus on taking care of what I need to right now, my responsibilities. And usually I begin to climb out of the hole. HOWEVER - if this doesn't work I am never embarrassed with the idea of seeking medical help from a professional. Sometimes our chemical balance stays out of wack and we need some extra help.
Meanwhile, I send you all the support and Light I can and ask that the Holy Spirit lift your heart and mind and show you why you are an important part of this world that we walk.
Peace be yours, and let me know how you are doing.
Bette
