Today, I will not hide my pain and suffering from myself or from my Higher Power. When I bring my most honest and pure self to the fore, when I am truly willing to turn over my angst to a power greater than myself, something changes. I let go and create space for a shift in perception. I experience a quiet awakening in my life, and forces that I did not allow to enter my life before, come in to heal me. Pain grows in hiding. Today I open the door, I let the parts of me come forward into my own consciousness that I shove away and shut down. After all it’s only more of me. Once these parts of me find legs, they walk, once these parts of me find a voice, they share and speak, they find words. And once they find words, I understand.

 I open my heart to my Higher Power.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody; I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat. . . . We must find each other.

Mother Teresa
