Just before we make a major breakthrough there is a pause where we are forced to get really, really honest.  We all know that highly uncomfortable position where we cannot go back and the only way is forward into uncharted territory.  That spot in our lives is teaming with unlimited potential.  If we can direct our gaze into that timeless pause, we can touch a convergence of old and new, the space between spaces just before launch, pregnant with possibility.  Training our focus on the positive, in as much mindfulness as we can muster, will bring us more positive.  By the focus of our belief and the strength of our will, we can anchor true potentiality like nothing we have experienced in the past.  



What we have just been through is akin to going through a rock tumbler.  Starting out knocking off pointy parts as we rub against eachother, knocking off bits and continuing to uncover hidden luster.  Having the tenacity to endure successive runthroughs in coarse grinds to fine grit and eventually all the way to arrive at a polish that enhances the beauty that is the true makeup of the human family.  Our resilience reveals an inherent angelic beauty that is self-evidence of the fact that God created us to always be the Guardians of eachother and our planet and our children… and beyond.



We are capable of a love so clear that darkness cannot remain standing and must bow to serve the Light.  That is the truth for which we were created and what we must claim, and uphold, and be.  We have a job to do.  We are in the last stretch of this phase.  Now let's get it done and make sure we do it well.

Addendum
Edited to add:
Twenty some odd years ago, I had a burning need to know what my journey was and where it was going and how long it was going to take to get there.  I searched for answers.  My desperation was addressed finally at the end of a trail of websites.  The tone of the message was something along the lines of  "I don't know who needs to hear this, but..."  The words on that page seemed to speak directly to me as I scrolled.  It was as if one of my personal Angels put those words there for me to find.  I became quiet and my mind stilled.  The messenger seemed to know of my deep yearning to know the truth of what my mind was just beginning to grasp about life and our infinite existence.  They seemed to understand my exasperation at never reaching the answer to "are we there yet?"  The message spoke of being patient and spoke to me about how truly vast the big picture is.  And then they said something that clicked for me, it was... "you need to have eternal patience, patience for all eternity."  When I read those words, the impact inside of me was a settling in for the duration of the journey.  I realized that the nature of the spiritual path is such that it does not end.  We are spiritual warriors, teachers, healers, wayshowers, gatekeepers, guardians and creators for all eternity.  So, the resulting job description is in effect the outcome and the beginning of our transformation.  

So... are we there yet?  

We are there and we will never be there.  Eternal patience.  Patience for eternity.  We will go through phases, but the job... for us... will never be over.  We will be working together as a family for a very long time.  Luckily we have all we need in eachother.  We've got this.
