Ushered into Peace
We all have demons. Bury them or tame them, you can’t outrun the past. You cannot hide your shadow. Who you’ve been is part of who you are. What you’ve done is not as secret as you think. Buried secrets don’t suffocate. Demons can’t heal without air. Light. Compassion. A trusted friend is a priceless treasure. Someone who loves you in your hard won places, who understands the struggle, is a lifelong gem.
The world will judge you harshly, from the surface. Let them talk. The work of healing is one’s finest contribution to society. When we are free to act responsibly, not driven by the festering in our basement, the demons we keep chained there, life proceeds with intelligence and grace; our decisions rational, our actions meaningful, our intentions always for the greater good.
Fear is the first demon to pack his bags. He’s a calculating menace but he knows where he’s not welcome. Imagine your life with no fear of your decisions. Each step brings you closer to your essence. Each choice leads you closer to your vision. Even difficulties teach you lessons. Even sorrow steeps you in compassion. Even the roughest passage ushers you into peace.
