Feeling groundless
December 8th 2006 17:40
Have you ever felt the sense of groundlessness?
When your life deteriorated so badly and you have that sense of hopelessness that engulfed you ... no where to turn, no where to run, no way out.
Well, some people go through that many times during their lifetime.
Some never will.
This groundlessness is a both a test and a teacher.
The fall is rapid and seems never-ending.
Will you survive the fall and come through intact (or broken)?
Will you learn from this and come through a stronger person, having the lessons imprinted in your mind?
At a point during this experience, you will feel a certain calm and begin to surrender to it.
That's when you may begin to understand and learn the lessons that are being taught.
Do not ask of the question 'why me' for this is self-defeating in the loathsome self-pity.
Instead ask, 'what lessons are there to be learnt and have I learnt it?'.
For if you haven't learnt the lessons, the process may repeat itself and you may be trapped into a motion of falling over and over again but never understanding why.
Do not be afraid of falling and that there's nothing there to catch you.
In this life, we're all alone in one way or another.
It is how you fight the battles that make the person that you are.
If you are able to make it through on your own, you will see that you are merely living through the darkest hours before dawn.
