It is not so difficult to pray the words into the Spirit realm that we ask for the highest good to come forward to all involved in any given situation. We say that we desire that which is for our greater purpose. Yet when the Universe begins to act, we struggle with our losses, our defeats and our attachments. We create deep pain within when that which we had hoped for doesn't materalize in the way we had envisioned. We fall into depression and hopelessness when the Spirit World has begun to act on our behalf as we had prayed.

For some of us, we are attached to a painful past because it becomes an excuse for our future. We don't want to let that go and become responsible for our own actions or lack thereof. We fall into dispair when our children decide to experience life their way, our spouse just doesn't quite measure up to our expectations or it's time for a relationship to end.

If only we could remember to go to our sacred space when we have been thrown off course. That place we have where we go to be alone with the Spirit World and seek guidance and understanding. It is where we cry our tears, we beat our drum and we chant our sorrowful song. It is where we let go and finally let the Universe take over. It is when we become quiet and breathe in deeply the cool, crisp breath of peace.

It is when our fear is replaced with trust that peace comes!
