KRIKET'S KHORUS

i woke up this morning to an empty sky

[ The "Boss"...Bruce Springstien ]

 

i'm discovering how spiritual experiences can wait to show themselves

 until after we've gone down the road a piece.

i followed my heart for 20+ years

and she's led me safely to where i am now

i've often had to ask her to "slow down a minit!" -

and she just mostly says  ".... it's okay, i'll wait...i have time"

as a child having a maternal figure who abused her authority
and neglected her responsibility as caregiver
we got pulled under by the sheer force of her command.
as a result of her influence we became very pliable.
and it WASN'T because we were "frail, fragile, or helpless"
what we WERE was "POWERLESS"
 a child being raised in such rigid frameworks is most likely to develop
agility, wit, instinct and a strong veil of self preservation...

it was a common form of discipline to use memorizing scriptures
 as a consequence for our actions.
 those penalties were probably what i gained from the most.
one of my favorites - -
Proverbs Chapter 22: Verse 6
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old
he will not depart from it"
i will be forever grateful for the gift this verse has been to me.
this training ground gave me every thing i needed to get where i am today.
i've described my past as being a colorful thread
weaving itself into the tapestry that makes my hero cape...
which is a delight until i get tangled up in my cape trying to fly higher than is safe.
i woke up this morning to an empty sky
which says to me
the sky isn't always the limit.
