Great Love, why? \nI have so many questions.\nThey build up in my throat, unasked.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhere am I going? \nWhy can\u2019t I know what You plan for me -- expect from me? \n'It is not for me to know\u2019, is what I tell myself.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nUUUghhh! I don\u2019t like this! \nIt causes me to judge and question everything I do, every thought and reaction I have. \nI have the need to weigh my actions against some measure of good, but how do I do this if there is no scale?<\/pre>\n\n\n\nGreat Love, what is your plan for me? \nI need to be prepared. Do you expect me to go naked?! \nI sense \u2026 \u2018yes\u2019.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nEyes are beginning to see \u2026 \nWhat I think of as waiting, containing, resisting \u2026 \nYou want me to just \u2018let go\u2019.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nMy heart sends a light upward to break up the blockage in my throat. \nA smile results. \nYour blessing is received.<\/pre>\n\n\n\nGreat Love, I have returned to your flow, filled with gratitude. \nMy eyes had closed to the holy journey I have been placed within. \nI am here for the experience \u2026 please keep reminding me.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n***<\/p>\n\n\n\n
