~ When Life Gnaws Hard ~

When life with all of its elements interwoven
gnaws hard…
deep within the marrow of
brittle, weary bones …
small things overwhelm enveloped … impossible it seems
to even accomplish
dragging the soul into sorrow-depths.

Yet, after much relentless falling,
and rising humbled, there is a life secret
that has the power to conquer
hard moments, and it is this:

Simplify.

Performing a life-check
within and without,
can finally rid vice-gripped heart of
unnecessary, life compiling, energy depleting,
toxic filling, un-needful life mess …
for peace.

Not just physically –
But mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
A spring-cleaning of the soul.

Simplify.

This soul of mine – in daily refining – is
learning this life lesson.
Through trial and error. Through life gnawing hard.
Through daily supplication on knee’s with
hands clasped tight – hope guidance pleading
whispered on lips.

Simplify.

For in this life space
joy-freedom is discovered.
Freedom that has been attempting tirelessly to enter
through heart door.

Simplicity is the pathway to a
Joyful life.
It is also the gateway-key to
gratitude.

For within simplicity,
every aspect of living and seeing deep
becomes vision of
gratitude.

Within simplicity lives gratitude.
Obstruction free.

Gratitude breathing blessings within the
in-between
of it all …

Quietly. Humbly. Patiently.

Simplicity births gratitude.
Gratitude grows a joyful life.

Now, who wouldn’t want that?

“The simplest things are often the truest.”

-Richard Bach

 

“And let the peace of God rule in your hearts,

to the which also ye are called in one body;

and be ye thankful.

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed,

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus,

giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

-Col. 3:15, 17
