When I got up this morning, I found myself obsessing again over things I can’t change. It’s a sad song in a minor key, becoming an annoying ear worm. I had to ask myself what, exactly, was the reason I keep revisiting hurt. What is it here to teach me about myself? What is the lesson which will allow my growth?
I meditated for a bit, receiving some insights I can use about old ways of meeting life, and what I have within my power to change. It is essential to me to learn to become the human being I’m here to be, rather than point and blame and weasel out of class. A slightly passing grade isn’t the point—I want to dig deeper, increase my inner knowledge, and find the similarities in how we all face both challenges and victories.
I love the vocal artist and Unity minister Kathy Zavada. She composes her own songs, singing with a soothingly lovely voice the words of wisdom which come from her soul. I listened to one of her CDs, a collection of simple yet deeply meaningful chants, effectively easing the songs of self-pity I kept in a loop. My choice. My action. My strength. And her songs have become my songs—my songs of hope, and love, and perspective, and ease.
It’s all about Gratitude, in the key of G.
