Grieving by TKO

Grieving induced by tears that are telescopic-able to see beyond- and kaleidoscopic-able to see the big and little picture- liberates us from the microscopic black and white judgment from intellectual speculation that we often call spirituality. Till the small deaths of each day become us into a living colorful reality. I wrote about this earlier in a blog entitled Myopic to Kaleidoscopic:

Able to see and enjoy the mysterious unfolding of beauty in front and inside of me. Enlightened by new patterns of thought forming through mirrors of experientially timely words, timing becomes more important than time. Proverbs 25:11

An awareness grows of being empowered into freedom from the use of brute force that is replaced by the strength of influential gentleness. From Cyclops to single-eyed focus, I’m learning to live without the monstrous blind spots created by cultural myths that darken truth, its expression, and its joy. Matthew 6:22,23

I gradually move out of the reflective suffering of the status quo that counsels me not to commit because of the wasted energy of worrying about what people think.

My overdeveloped analytical abilities and underdeveloped will no longer have power to keep me from the fresh commitments I can now make to the One who has the combination unlocking my heart and mind.

I unlearn the commitments that have defined me which are unstated and usually unrecognized.

Slowly, the painfully harsh judgements against my emotions are being lifted. I can now listen for and interpret who I am through my emotions as they create the background music for my new life and its beauty. 1 Corinthians 14:15

Babble On

A city we build with our words that are as smoke. It only chokes the life out of a relationship. As they say: "Up in Smoke".

Leadership

Not a power play but empowering others.

It is violent but with redemption.  

Not a laughing matter but a serious joy.

Authoritative but tender.

Craftsmanship but with personal depth.

Idealistic but practical.

Dancing the one step but for two or more.

Rocking without declining.

Speaking without freaking.

Quietly opening without creaking.

Running without streaking.

Echoing imagery.  

Noticing performance through spiritual significance.

Wooing the wow in the ordinary.

Making extraordinary dreams come true.

Living in amazement but often in the basement.

Ascending the descent into freedom from self-hatred.

Eyebrowsing rather than brow beating.

Delight

The tender  non-judgmental action of seeing  others by which  the letter "a"  is removed from the word acute.

True Obedience

Love in practical action that is duty-free.  A servant's hands driven by a son or daughter's heart.

Terror

Arrested develpoment.

Suffering

Suffering enlarges the heart by creating the power to sympathize.

Wrong Questions

Sound deep, no meaning, not stupid, just wrong.

Listening versus Venting

Insight heals which is why listening is critical. Venting simply reveals root causes.

Wicked

A candle with no wick.

False Humility

Humility that is born out of etiquette rather than conviction or attitude.

Wisdom

Harboring freedom rather than bitter envy and selfish ambition.

Freedom

Sustained initiative
