I offer this note in honor of all who face some 

affliction or adversity today, and might be helped 

in someway to know that God has prepared us all 

for whatever struggle may lie ahead. Know that you

are not alone. 

 

I offer this note in honor of all those who wake 

in a hospital bed, a cancer treatment center, sit

facing a dialysis machine, struggling with a rehab

program, or a daunting medical procedure of any

type - along with all those who love them sitting in

waiting rooms with hands clinched in prayer

pleading for deliverance. Know that you are not

alone. 

 

I offer this note in honor of all those facing abuse,

or intolerance, or hunger  - know that the force

of  God is the life within - the champion within you -

willing to fight with you for your right to continue

living. Know too that you are not alone. 

 

May this humble note offer a word of hope.

 

THIS CHAMPION WITHIN 

The keys to strength are deep within,

ready to turn in times of your greatest

need, when providence or circumstance

or happenstance requires courage in

the face of adversity – simply reach inside

and find your inner champion.

 

Know today you are ready to face what

comes, always able to summon this

champion within, victor of a thousand

noble causes both seen and unforeseen -

who is ready and fully prepared to protect

you still.

 

Today proceed in clear confidence of the

metal forged within, knowing you are

able to summon your noble powers when

needed at a moment's notice – to offer

a clear and effective response to any

threat or cause, victorious.

IN TRANSITION - AFFIRMATIVE THOUGHT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Having watched too much college basketball

this season,  I was fascinated and focused

again this year on the phrase  - "in transition" - 

used by the coaches and commentators

to describe the process of traveling full court

to shift from defense to offense, or vice versa,

where the team has to move to their own or 

the opposing team's basket.  Much of the game, 

and many of the exciting fast-break plays 

originate in this place of transition.

 

In reality, many of us may exist in our own

professional,  personal, and/or spiritual lives

"in transition," where what worked in the past 

may now seem somewhat dull and lack-luster,

leaving us to wake each morning wishing we

could alter in some way this life we now lead, 

even if we are not quite sure how. It is often 

challenging to approach these days with

enthusiasm and a sense of purpose.  

 

Finding myself at such a crossroads, I find

that this note below offers a piece of very 

sound advice - "stay on purpose," especially

when in a time of transition. 

 

IN TRANSITION 

Today stay on purpose, refusing

to be knocked off course by doubt,

self-questioning, or confusion –

reaching within instead to reconnect

with your inner values and sense

of mission.

 

Today stay on purpose, even if you

wonder whether this is the right

course, realizing that only through

right action will you be able to

discover the viable alternative

or the shift needed to find your

realignment going forward.

 

Today stay on purpose, knowing

within the contrast or friction

a spark of creative genius may

erupt and ignite your imagination,

lighting the way to a fuller perspective

where passion and enthusiasm

can once again take center stage.

BEYOND THE EXPECTED

Let us liven up our lives today, by pushing

the boundaries, moving beyond the

expected into the adventurous –

shaking up the status quo – expanding

our preconceived notions with

the tingle of stretching the limits.

 

Let us liven up our lives today, ready

to feel more, express more, reveal more

as we surprise ourselves and others

with a new perspective, a wider vision,

a more daring approach, reaching out

to meet our potential.

 

Let us liven up our lives today, by living

them more fully, more mindful of the

wonders, not resting until we have

all they have to offer and then some –

flushed with the pure joy of reaching

deep within and far beyond.

OUR RESONANCE - NOTES ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

resonate – produce or be filled with a deep, full,

reverberating sound; evoke or suggest images,

memories, or emotions; technical – produce

electrical or mechanical resonance.

 

resonance – the quality in a sound of being deep,

the ability to evoke or suggest images, memories,

and emotions:

physics – the reinforcement or prolongation

of sound by reflection from a surface or by 

the synchronous vibration of a neighboring

object; a short-lived subatomic particle that

is an excited state of a more stable particle.

 

OUR RESONANCE

Our thoughts resonate; our emotions resonate;

our every attitude, enthusiasm, or inspiration

resonates with a clear vibration of ‘sound’

existence; being, communicating, through

the physical and the spiritual universe,

an intention, a purpose, a signal of possibility,

connecting firmly to all surrounding existence

a declaration of determination which, in turn,

creates like expressions, a chorus, a harmony

of continual becoming, sounding, rebounding,

resounding.

 

It is essential that our sonic communication

matches our desires, our true intentions;

the pure, positive, productive voice of the hopes

and lasting happiness: fixing on this tuning,

rather than the fearful tremors and

the dissonance of the discarded, the unwanted,

the resisted; those vexing expressions of darkness,

of pending doom, with their unfolding stories

of possible, dismal consequences, often replete

with life’s suffocations and sorrows – and instead,

in place of – let us draft a fresh story, a more

wholesome story, one of overcoming, flourishing,

singular transcendence and true success –

resonating a sound so strong, so resilient

it vibrates our life, all of life, towards wholeness,

more-ness, stretching us upward, propelling

us in unison with a solid declaration of growth.
