Lost and found...




Sometimes in life we are on a path. Sometimes the path becomes so much different than we expected, that it seems we have made a mistaken turn. Maybe not. Maybe this is the path. Maybe my mistakes are a part of it...

I have recently discovered more about the importance of being a "sovereignty" as Baha'u'llah asks us to become in the first of His 'Hidden Words'. My relationship with an individual in my life has had to be put on hold for the time being so I can collect myself and when I am around that person I won't feel so infiltrated emotionally. I am finding it a very healthy process, and my prayers for detachment and my daily work towards becoming more sovereign from all save God is really going to pay off. It is difficult, but must be done. It is good to be empathic, but can be unhealthy if you have no known limits. There has to be boundaries, limits.

SO. Is there someone in your life that makes you feel negative whenever you are around them? Do they seem to have a "power" over a part of you? Do you deserve that? All questions that led me to the point where I am now: regrouping. And I feel all the more healthy for it!

Thanks Baha'u'llah, for this is the lesson of boundaries and limits in a world full of oceans of limitless bounties!
