Dream...

I had a dream last night about a former family member that I was close to, that passed away about eleven years ago. I dreamed that they came back to life and I was stunned, but I saw them right in front of me and it seemed real but I kept doubting and crying because it just couldn't be. I've never had a dream that felt so real. I woke up and didn't want to wake up. I wanted that person to be there and for this not to be a dream. Their presence was with me and so strong.

F.E.A.R. ~ False Evidence Appearing Real

An excerpt from the article:

"We've all experienced the strength of negative thoughts. If we are not aware in the present moment they can quickly sneak up on us and drag us down the rabbit hole of disconnection, despair and depression.

Near the end of Lama Tenzin's visit he was asked if he believed global peace would one day become a reality. After a long pause he said, "The enemy is within."

He then pointed out: Love exists within each of us, as does the enemy.

How often do we believe the enemy is someone or something outside ourselves?

So... if the enemy is within, then what exactly is this villainous darkness lurking inside all of us? Fear. False Evidence Appearing Real.

Fear is the consummate shape-shifter, disguising itself in many forms: anxiety, stress, worry, overwhelm, blame, judgment, gossip, anger, hate, resentment, and criticism."

Today I will hold tight to remember FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real as my children search for answers to a situation that affects them deeply, and right now I have NO clear answer to offer.
