Resilience

Transforming spirituality is resilience in nature. Listen, observe, and absolute the moment. Absorption can be everlasting. Defining resilience is the ability to adapt as trees do to wintery woods and as jet streams run through mountains. Consider the fence, once bent, it yields and survives. Once change is monumental, I must adapt and therefore, I will grow. A ball hangs from high captured by the thorny branch of a tree. Resilient to the wind, it swings until recovery – until it is let free. The unexpected mandates handling. I embrace the thought. Realization is Jehovah’s provision of “creative adjustment” within us. Strength, wisdom, grace, and courage manifest resilience. Safety is a nest, which can break. Implications are that the world is individually viewed and an individual’s identity. Today is built around moments, which we are unable to see in which an individual’s future lies. Clinging to what is known is how an individual frequently possesses his or her dreams. Freedom lies in one’s ability to let go of what is cherished and customary to his or her existence with realization being that this is no longer obtainable; hence, constructing greater availability for more in depth dreams and privileges. Through the woods!

We are in a state of adjustment and if we are bound to God we will truly know what we are capable of. It is through God that I have known my own resilience.

Robert Frost and Stopping by the Woods. How warm and mellow and moving and emotional was each word that you wrote. How in the world did you develop such a great knowledge of all of God's creation. You must say a prayer before each poem you write. James Thomas Horn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ZQMAMqOXw&list =RDdfpOvM5OcuY
