TRIPPING OVER JOY What is the difference Between your experience of Existence And that of a saint? The saint knows That the spiritual path Is a sublime chess game with God And that the Beloved Has just made such a Fantastic Move That the saint is now continually Tripping over Joy And bursting out in Laughter And saying, “I Surrender!” Whereas, my dear, I am afraid you still think You have a thousand serious moves. Hafez, I Heard God Laughing: Poems of Hope and Joy . . . I had to seriously take a mini posting break from instagram. I got to a point where I felt lost and the things I was sharing started having no meaning or impact. My personal struggles and challenges with my own journey crippled me and I just needed to take a moment to figure things out both for myself and my business. When doubt sets in and challenges become stagnant stumbling blocks to the next stage, you question not just yourself but God. The why's set in. You question if God really is and why all the prayers are unanswered. But like the words above, "The saint knows That the spiritual path Is a sublime chess game with God" and making the moves means you still believe. . . Whatever you are going through, it's hard. It's harder than hard and your faith has been tested and questioned but just believe and know that he is God. He will do it. I know he will come through for me. I know he is working everything together for my good and I surrender to him all my burdens and pains. Wishing you all an amazing and very productive new week. God lives. God loves. God is great. He can do all things and there is nothing, absolutely nothing impossible for the mighty one. . .
