Belief System 2

"The streams are my veins." Can you hear the drum beats of fear as do I? Does the mere sound of these fears make you want to CRY? You don't want to believe it, and hope it's all a 'Big LIE'. Whether true or false, it's best to bid our fears GOODBYE. Some say that the 'best is yet to come', and others say that the good old days are gone and never will return. Some say that the 'worst is yet to come', and others say that the good old days are gone, but better days are yet to come. Yesterday is HISTORY, but today does not have to be a MYSTERY, nor does tomorrow have to be filled with gloom, sorrow, and MISERY. You did not pour the glass; whether half empty or half full. Even when dealt cards we don't CONTROL, we still must be BOLD. Even when we are often TOLD that the entire deck has been RIGGED; Or that the troubled waters that we see below have no BRIDGE above. Although not a brave one, it does appear that we stand on the precipice of a new world? A brave world does not self-DESTRUCT, but finds ways and means to better its COMSTRUCT. Can we leave the world into which we were born better than we found it? Whether or not the future is misery largely depends on our belief system. Have we a belief system that flows like a river unclogged, free and clear? Or like a stream of fresh living waters gushing unhindered through a creek bed? I pray that I might be a conduit; and may the streams be my veins. By a most reliable source, the Bible, we are told that 'we spend our years as a tale that is told'*. In a movie, the words of one actor to another were, "There's no normal life. There's just life". Is the tale of my life being told presently; Or must I fly away before the tale is told of me? Me thinks it is both, but we write the tale presently. If history repeats itself, perhaps it's because humans won't CHANGE. If history repeats, perhaps we thirst for control and ill-gotten GAIN. It is said that to repeat things, hoping for change, defines INSANITY. Me thinks that life is not a 'crapshoot' but dominated by choices we make. On a cross, one man chose and said, "If you BE....". Another man chose and said, "...Remember ME". * 080122PSCtest, Let your Muse Be Inspired-R Form, Constance La France Contest Theme #2: "The streams are my veins." 4P *Luke 23:39,42; Psalm 90
