As I see and hear what is
happening between Russia and
Ukraine, I am sad and angry. I
choose to pause.

I welcome Inspiration, Wisdom,
and LOVE. I ask, “What can I
do miles away? How can I be
truly helpful? I feel at a loss.” I
pause to listen for an answer.

ANSWER: “Breathe. Let these
emotions not cloud your
judgment. It is right to pause for
those who are not pausing. It is
right not to linger in anger or
fear. The world has unleashed
its darkness.

But even in the greatest darkness,

there is an even Greater Light.”

A mother and her two young
children are sheltering in a
subway. She says to the
journalist, “I never, ever
imagined this could happen.”

As I am humbly available to Inspiration, I am re-Minded,
guided to focus on my Higher
Mind and specific Wisdom to
follow:

That woman and her children
that I just observed on the
news, I can continue to pause
for them.

President Zelensky. I can
pause for him.

Putin, I can pause for him.

President Biden, I can pause for him.

All the people. I can pause for us.

What does this mean? I won’t
know for sure until I actually
follow the Wisdom and actually
pause!

I have begun my pausing, a
Peace wiser than war is with
me. Though I am not face-to-
face with these individuals, I
can still help in trusting This
Wisdom. I’ll keep you posted.

I experience LOVE not as punishing, but forgiving, not as counting my mistakes, but cheering on my great strides.

In high school, I choreographed a Pom Pom routine to the tune “No Matter What” by Badfinger. It reinforced that I am loved.

The words, “No Matter What” do not mean that I can go on about my everyday business as if no one or the world doesn’t matter; that I can be unloving and unaware of people’s needs because LOVE will love me anyway so why bother.

Rather, my choice to be aware of this NO MATTER WHAT LOVE moves me towards LOVE, therefore, I am equipped to love others as I conduct my daily business.

When I first met Bill, a patient on the Brain Injury Unit diagnosed with
alcoholism, he was agitated and throwing punches, one that nearly landed
on my head. Today he is calm and quite sweet. As an occupational therapist,
I am seeing Bill. He wanted to get cleaned up after breakfast, but he did not
have any clean clothes to put on his clean body. In fact, he didn’t own any
clothes. He was wearing hospital scrubs and some old shirt over those. I
offered to wash the clothes he was wearing and then went to find him some
clean clothes from the hospital’s donated clothes closet. I brought back
clothes including three sweaters and he chose the brown sweater with the
front zipper. At the end of our hour together, he looked at me and said, “You
must be tired” (from the therapy session). I looked at him and said, “You
know Bill, I was really tired when I got here this morning, but I do not feel
tired at all now. You have made my day.” I felt renewed.

Later that afternoon, I brought Bill more clean clothes. At that moment, he
looked at me, our eyes met, and I felt “seen.” The truth in me was seen. He
said, “Thank you” with a sincerity not of the ego, not out of obligation or
manners. I was floored. We sat together in silence. He thanked me again.
Then I thanked him for helping me to feel the peace of LOVE within myself.
He said with surprise, “I did that?” So today, I still see his wild, bulging eyes conveying the peace of LOVE.
