I have compassion for the susceptible 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, easedropping on my thoughts of sudden spasms of
enlightenment. 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.
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.
You, as those around you, live in 10% of your consciousness.
Belonging to a community serves to raise that level. Just how far is completely
up to you.
