Loving Our Pain by Martha MacFarland
Through the challenges of life, we find gratitude
For in gratefulness, we find pure acceptance of where we are
Trusting the light within us to guide and heal
In the lessons we are teaching and learning in life
So in this moment, we breathe in the presence of well being
Believing in Divine order that our desires will be met in time
And that life is a marriage between destiny and free will
In the co-creation of the ego and soul, the small self and Higher Self
Knowing the universe always has a plan
We can make choices through courage and faith
Without attachments to the outcomes
Surrendering to the struggles of life
Knowing the lessons will better us in time
To grow and expand to the next level of emotional freedom
So we cultivate our inner radiance
By trusting our emotions as a compass
Fine tuning our preferences in life
Allowing for expression and creativity to free us from repressed anger
For in creativity, we find our soul’s voice that helps us dissolve the pain we carry
And in the beauty of the art, we love our pain, our humanity
And in that love and acceptance, we are set free.
