BODY PHYSICAL VS ENERGY & LIFE FORCE
Life is a challenge and a joy!
I've been reflecting on both the challenges and the joys of life, and was recently challenged to take a close look at how I (mostly) keep going when it's pretty apparent that the body is starting to feel the impact of having two 25 lb twins inside that keep growing.
To be honest, I've had to miss school a few days already this year - not like last year however, but I see what I might call my "body energy" taking a dive on occasion, yet...
In the day-to-day work of teaching music and playing the organ at church, I'm finding that I'm doing pretty well and that I'm continually energized by the teaching and the music making. I'm doing pretty well to keep up with a few conducting opportunities as well, and, although I *know* that the surgery will put a dent in *those* life experiences, I'm still finding being active and committed to the challenges and joys of life a great benefit.
I'm growing to understand that the physical body and the part of the body that many refer to as the soul or life force (or as I understand it through my teaching - ENERGY!) are intertwined but yet two separate and distinct things.
I'm certain that the physical body is having a toll taken on the moment by moment life, but when I often get asked by you guys " so...how ARE you..." I have to answer "I'm FINE!"
...and I am! My life force/energy is more focused and is burning brighter than ever before! I know without a doubt that *this* energy IS the important part of life and is totally what keeps me going. Interestingly, it's the part of me that directly feels and responds to what I know from you as "..I'm praying for you!" That power and energy is directly channeled to me and it keeps me going beyond anything that I can gather from life. Music holds that energy as well, for all of us!
All of this is beyond the body physical, yet that body (my body) feels that energy generated from that part which is genuinely me - my life energy!
There is my "secret" for those who have asked. Genuinely I'm FINE and plan to BE fine for a long time in the future....no matter what happens to the body!
Know that I covet your thoughts and prayers and remember you and your life-energy in my thoughts and prayers.
Godspeed
