I have compassion for the vulnerable places I have touched.
As I sit in the pew, listening to a marvelous voice, projecting with confidence
and absolute joy, I am sensitive to those around me in the adjustment of my
return. I feel compassion for my own exposure. Journey deeply into my inner
world of my brain, eavesdropping on my thoughts of sudden spasms of
enlightenment, I weep silently. I am happy. Giddy with warmth from the
community around me. I don’t even know 98% of them, yet they have welcomed me
as their own. Time quiets the chatter. I drop into the comfort of my suffering,
in need of support. The little thin woman who yells to blame someone for how
badly her life is going, drowns out the music and reverie for a short time.
Total independence is a misconception. You can no more live
without getting your emotional, fiscal and livelihood needs met than you can
live without sustenance, air and rejuvenation. If you honor your Self,
belonging is truly a bridge of finding your way. Stepping out of the comfort
zone and into a community where self-expression is encouraged, insisted upon,
helps you communicate more effectively, own your own worth, be more available
to learn new things about your Self, handle rejection, take constructive
action, manage your time and energy with grace, be of service consistently,
master your chosen field, step out of your comfort zone more frequently, and
discover a renewed strength within. Join.
