Something Missing

When you awaken to yourself each day, you might feel vacant. There is an emptiness inside that cannot seemingly be filled. Thus begins the eternal scavenger hunt of our lives. We look outside ourselves because we need the gifts of self-created outer problems to strengthen our inner needs. And. . . we awaken our innate wisdom.

Recognizing the illusions of our physical worlds, our inner strengths grow. We objectify two opposite things – our desire for wealth and our desire for real friends. Our inner emptiness roars inside us, tossing us much as an angry sea would. One side of our little boat is an angry sea, while the other promises calm.

When we realize the recognition of the inner person and their loving companionship is most important in our lives, our turmoil disappears. We turn to the acknowledgement of the value of the inner persons we meet and befriend, we accept this as the loving influence of peace in our lives. We awaken God within us, and the something missing disappears. We are at peace with ourselves.
