I feel better tonight. I cleared the laundry in the laundry room (it’s been there for months). I also cleaned the tv room and completely, well almost, cleaned the kitchen. I still have the refrigerator left. I cleaned our bedroom and vacuumed and dust mopped the floors. Afterwards, I burned a little sage and misted the room with sage as well. It felt good. Today I watched a documentary that had original music that inspired me. Lately, I have been thinking, “Who am I? What am I doing?” I’ve felt so disconnected. The original music on the documentary made me sing. I didn’t sing an original song. “If You’re Not Back In Love By Monday”, came to mind and I kept singing a portion of the first verse, well at least as much as I could think of. It energized me. Singing energized me. I remembered me at that moment. I felt connected. He complains when I sing, so I stopped, but I am going to sing if I want to. Today, he said, “You need to get a hobby. You have too much time on your hands. You read self-help books too much.” I told him I had hobbies but he didn’t like them. Now I don’t know who I am anymore. I am pleased I made that connection because I had lost sight of why I was disconnected. Now I am slowly beginning to remember. I let someone who’s unhappy with themselves slowly pick away at my happiness. I enabled him in becoming a killjoy. Not anymore. I am going to stand up for myself. Perhaps Dariah’s presence helps me as well. I am not sure.
Tonight I was reading and it dawned on me why church didn’t seem to feed my spirit. It dawned on me why I like to use the terms “the Universe/ Energy/Spririt” and why I like nature and natural things. It’s because that’s how I connect everything back to God. God is everywhere and everything. Those terms helped me to feel the Omniscience, Omnipresence, and Omnipotence. It helped me feel connected. I didn’t have to do anything special. Those words simply helped me acknowledge and stay aware of God’s presence. Made God bigger than I could see and un-embodiable (I know that’s not a word).
I feel better right now. I feel alive. I feel like living. I don’t feel invisible. At this moment I feel connected. I feel GoOD. I feel grateful.
There's indeed a glimpse of life on this planet.
