Freedom

Rejoice
Freedom, pt II

 

Alright, for those of you who have been to my site before this story is hardly new, however one of my personal favorites.  This being the very next day after the Supreme Court Ruling on Homosexuality/sodomy law as unconstitutional, my hope and prayers are for those who have yet to come out of the DARK and into the LIGHT.  Trust me on the statement below....

Tom June 26th 2003

 

Yes... God loves you.

I say I want to let go of my past, forgive my parents, and put my childhood behind me. But my worldly identity comes from my past. What I really mean is, I want to pick and choose among past experiences--because there are parts of my ego I want free of and parts I want to keep. But I will never let go of my past until I release all of it. If I want to know who I am, I must relinquish my worldly identity.

Let all thoughts be still within me.
Let the ego dissolve gently from my mind.
And let me forever be,
Only as You created me.
