My blue waits behind
the huge expanse of darkness
waiting to be freed
*********************
Standing in my blue
This is where my power is
People spend a lifetime looking for meaning
Looking for approval and trying so hard to matter
I thought if I could control everything around me I could make things happen my way and I wouldn’t be left to experience the mayhem that surrounded me
I wouldn’t have to live in fear
But the truth is, I now realize, that I truly controlled nothing
The harder I held on to things
The more I strangled myself
The more I tried to control every aspect of my life
Every circumstance in my life
The harder they swirled around me in a cyclone of destruction
I was a victim
A victim of life
Things happened to me and I wanted control
I wanted to be able to make it stop
I just didn’t know how
Now I find it ironic that I have learned that the true power is letting go
Open your hands and set the madness free
Now I stand in my blue with the realization that the elusive control I tried so hard to hold onto
Was within my power the whole time
The only thing in this lifetime that we truly have control over is the thoughts we think
Yes – into the blue expanse of my mind the thoughts that float by like clouds on a windy day are the only things that I can control
So standing in my blue I work very hard to notice the drifting clouds of thought and I know that I attract what I think
Standing in my blue I direct the passing clouds
I take responsibility for my life and I am content…free from the swirling forces that I created
Standing in my blue I create what I want to see
And I am who I want to be
Standing in my blue ~ I take back my power
Blessitude

I love these new stories about your journey filled with wisdom and love. Great imagery of standing in your blue field allowing life to float by. I’ve certainly experienced the choking of control. XD Now, I’m experimenting with a very light touch that borders on no control or preference, merely watching and blessing everything. blessings to you!
Oh Brad! Yes…that is the place of complete peace…no “preference” I like that. Just simply living in total faith and enjoying what comes along! Thank you Brad 🙂 Much love to you <3

Amen to letting go. The thing is figuring out what not to hold on to and drop it like a hot rock. You’ve then become emancipated.
Yes Totsymae!! Reminds me of that game “Hot Potato” we used to play as kids. But your idea is better because nobody gets “stuck” with it!! Thanks for adding 🙂 Blessitude
‘And I am who I want to be.’ I love those words Lorrie. It’s so powerful to be able to say that 🙂
Hi Carolyn!! Yes!! Isn’t it wonderful??? This was not always true…but like everything…sometimes we don’t know what we want until we know what we don’t want! Thanks for adding. Have a super day! 🙂
