That which you give
There will be
times, began Ouija Cat, when the stern voices from without and within
will seek to remind you of your insignificance, and of your powerlessness
beneath the dark clouds that lurk behind the brightest of skies...
and smiles.
You will be
persuaded that, because none can control the chaos that hides in
nature - or in the nature of men - that your effort, your struggle,
your exhaustion, are all squandered and in vain.
Then, your heart
will cry out in anger and despair, yearning for recognition, and
redemption... but only the wise learn that these things have
no meaning apart from what we alone, ourselves, give to them.
Therefore, do
not mistake the tormented longing for acknowledgement and appreciation,
for the inner comfort of having been diligent - and of having done
one's best;
What pain exists
in all the world that does not arise from a mistaken faith in the
commerce of good will?
No. You see,
in this Life, you are given only one task: to give from your heart,
for the SOLE purpose of giving, from your heart.
That which you
give is, without exception, the most Life will ever entitle
your existence to be;
But you must
know, too, that it is also the very most that Existence will ever
ask from your life.
And with this
understanding, let there be no disillusionment, no disappointment,
no unmet expectations, but only PEACE within you.
For no cosmic
arbiter of justice can alter this: Your fortune and fate are bounded
only by the limits of your willingness to give - from your
heart.
There, said
Ouija Cat, you will find order and harmony, not in the slippery
stream of desire and regret, but in the enduring awareness of the
spirit within.
