Karina

The mountain air was full of mist. The sun was slow to rise, being held down by heavy clouds. Windows were slowly opened to visions of panoramic landscapes. Birds circled in flight, singing to the waves of the rocky shore below. 
   Karina began her morning chores. She lit the large iron stove, got out spices to season foods, prepared meats for meals. Karina started making the dough for breads on the special dough block.
   Karina was tired from last evening... a family dance where 50 people attended. There was a lot of preparation; a lot of cleaning up afterwards. Karina was pacing herself to do the best she could.
   Karina had been with the Bellvadires for many years. She was treated like family. Karina knew family secrets between the bloodline. She had more control of the Bellvadire Family than any expected. 
   Senior Bellvadire met Karina when she was homeless and at odds with life. He took her in, gave her a job, and a place to live for the rest of her life. Members of the family feared Karina. Psychic abilities, patience, and long-suffering were characteristics of Karina. She studied a wide variety of various religions. 
   Karina had a strong will. She always attempted to make decisions to help the Bellvadires out of life's problems. Karina had hardly any money, but she had wisdom beyond compare.

Starting Over

Survival is a lesson in itself.
Treacherous lives have suffered treacherous abuse -
Only to find enlightenment from the wisdom of denial.
Reality of denial opens major change -
Lessons of starting over;
Lessons of perception;
Lessons of connection.
Connection brings help from others...
Recovering from separation from life itself.
Remain open to all thought...
Remain open to all change...
Remain open to all possibilities.
Acceptable changes will arrive,
Bringing miracles of grandeur -
Healing once tortured lives.

Not Knowing

The dilemma of not knowing can be the best dilemma of all. In "not knowing" - the unexpected becomes a surprise for us to pine over. Joy becomes more obtainable when we live without expectation. In expectation, one is always trying to figure out outcomes. Then, when a chosen outcome does not take place, frustration and depression take the place of peace and happiness. 
  Learning to live and let others live is not always easy, especially when one has held on to dependency. Dependency can become the walls to one's prison, not allowing freedom to come and go. Dependency to people, places, and things can become an addiction that only gets stronger with time. To resist dependency is to learn independence - everyone's freedom. Independence is not isolation. Independence allows the freedom of self with a healthy interconnection to others.
  We all need independence, but cannot live wholly without interconnection to others. Interconnection forms community. Community forms populations. Populations form movements in history, both good and bad. In being aware of our independence, each one influences their histories.

Mystery

Mystery does not have to be errie, dark, fearful. Mysteries can be inviting, especially in prayer and meditation. 
   Close your eyes. See darkness turn to light. Allow the light to guide you into your inner soul. Allow the strength of your soul to completely encapsulate your physical body.
   As you stay in the light, think of a positive loving word... LOVE is all right. See the light, hear the LOVE. 
   As light and LOVE mix, messages and thoughts will come to understanding. Understanding the mystery of the unknown brings the mass of the universe into your life, into your soul.
   Allow mystery to come into your life.

Open Mind

The day is bleak. Mind has opened from the darkness of sleep. Alertness wrestles transition from lathargy. 
   The mind screen slowly begins to focus on current events... clearer, then clearer. The volume raises to understanding. Gentle, chilled breeze flows over body - sensations of calming strokes. 
   Mind opens to form thoughts of grandeur. Lively coffee brews. Aroma tickles action of survival. Spirit touches Soul, connecting to Universal Power.

Connections

Visions of dreams from the past open the door to present reality. The universe accepts the prayers of all the faithful. In search of understanding, their cries for help are silenced. Patched disagreements are found in willingness to survive.
   The quest for for creation is always accepted. Bearing new realities opens divisive change. Moments of survival seek acceptance... hopeful that winds of change allow their presence.
   Love absorbs inflictions formed in ignorance. Criminal movement lives in negativity. Doers of change remain eternally open... sending out invitations at least expected times.
   Unhappiness warrants growth, experience yields wisdom. Seek to find and find to keep connections hoped for.

Deception

Deception creeps around corners of every street. Man operates in survival - day by day, night by night. Pushing, pulling... pulling, pushing. Rotating left, rotating right. Deception comes during operations of survival. Deception is present when least expected, causing havoc to all involved.
   Be aware of life's deceptions. Know that you are not victim - you are survivor. Know this in your innermost being. Be strong. Hold on to all your values. Deception will flee. Deception will die. Keep your values. Know that you are whole.

Trials of Judith

Judith was very intelligent, educated with high honors. Judith created a source of unbelievable knowledge through learning. Trials of Judith were not intellectual. Trials of Judith were emotional. 
   Judith had a strong personality... able to relate to different persons - good and bad, strong and weak, rich and poor. People from all nations could relate to Judith. People from all nations were encouraged and discouraged by their emotions.
   Emotions originate in thought of feelings. Thought of feelings can be conscious or unconscious. The key to understanding thought of feelings lies in the ability to understand one's perceptions.
   Judith's perceptions could change light to dark; laughter to tears; faith to fear; feelings of security to those of desperation. Trials of Judith held solutions in perceptions. Judith soon learned solutions by understanding her perceptions of every situation in life.

Turmoil I

The agony of internal turmoil in the midst of a psychotic society can be so overwhelming, it can cause hibernation. We live in a world of psychic vampires who feed on our own inner peace and integrity.
   We continue to hope, and have faith, that our societies will evolve into compatible, interconnected rays of light whose strength is in the interactive unity of all. 
   One finds that a major shift in society is the result of major shifts within individuals. Peace requires forms of agreement of all involved.
