Journal Prose Chronicles:

The reminder reflections

Entries from my journal are only shared with my closest of friends, so beginning this series was not a decision taken lightly. Concentrations of my anguish, toil, love, ecstasy, and more exist between these pages.

Why share them now, you ask?

It is because as Etienne de Grellet stated in one of my favorite quotes:

“I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being; let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”

***

Pivotal moments…

Remember these ones.

When nothing was present but energy and light.

When the bottom of your thoughts held a propensity to despair.

Doubt.

Fear.

But truth remained steadfast and absolute, like it so effortlessly does.

Everything will manifest and there will be space…room for you to think and imagine bigger.

Can you keep going a little longer?

Live the love and laughter that ushers in a new world.

Then you’ll know how easy it was all along.

Where you get to experience overwhelming joy that you can swim in for the rest of your breaths.

When you are overtaken with the realization that you have helped someone.

When you are overtaken with the realization that you have definitely helped someone.

When you are overtaken with the realization that you actually helped someone.

Darkness, depression, and death want to keep a foothold. They struggle hardest because the time of their demise counts down inevitable.

One of the best things you can do today is not be afraid.

Stand in the light of righteousness because you know the outcome.

It has already been written.

It has already been done.

And every once in a while…remember and reinforce that.

Remember when there was nothing and no one, but you could feel everything and everyone.

Be sure to laugh yourself silly at that. And then laugh some more.

I truly appreciate that you took the time to read my journal entry. Kindest of thanks!
