Grace

In a state of confusion…little patience…without clarity Empty of tranquility. There I was… But there I did not seek to be. The guided path now lost within my world. I was perplexed…bewildered…defeated. Where was that amity of body, mind, and spirit? Where was the needed breath of life to infuse wholeness into my existence? I sat alone. In silence… I waited. Consumed by my condition. Unable to call upon decipherability so as to understand the complexity of my despair and find solutions for my state. So I surrendered to the abyss of the unknown. And then I felt it the emergence of the unexplained slowly…gently…mysteriously…. taking hold of my being and soothing my sheared and shattered soul. (April 2021)

I can relate George, as for 50 years I've known that I'm here by God's grace alone--since as a young man I did my damnest to destroy myself---you might say body, mind, and soul....

Thank you L.J. I guess the important thing is where one is now, and not necessarily where one was. Take care my friend.
