WHOLLY HOLISTICS

by Sutty Suddeth

myself that even in the face of difficult change, my grounding in Spirit remains secure. I find ground on which to stand. Spirit connects me to all things. It is timeless and serene. Spirit is the bedrock beneath all experience. When I am threatened and adrift, I remind myself Spirit is an inner fortress, constant and serene. But what if I can’t feel any connection to Spirit, you may say? It’s not a thing for me and I don’t even call it that. Call it what you will. Labels make no difference here and only distract from the subtle, yet powerful nature of what we’re discussing. Change is the oneness that binds us all, so look for Spirit there. Is it always pleasant? No, but it’s always there. Understand that grayshift affects us all. Back to The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, grayshift is defined as the tendency for future goals and benchmarks to feel huge when viewed in advance, only to fade into banality as soon as you’ve achieved them . . .

Use the above paragraph’s realization to your advantage however you see fit. Toughness looks different to us all. What’s tough for him, may not be tough for them. Halsey, the pop star, said it best: “Funny how the warning signs can feel like butterflies.” Let that sink in.

As an aside to this subject matter, when writing for Wholly Holistics, I feel in my being that certain words and phrases are meant for individuals who will become a reader, if only for just this once. I feel the potential anguish in the realizations that “my” words cause. It is not lost on me and I’m now sending love to said anguish.

The ending can harken the beginning of something truly spectacular. Allow yourself the time to grieve what was. Allow grief of even the awful things of life, that you would allow another, especially the youngsters among us. For it is in allowance that we find peace.
