"You can't change the water level in the glass by waging war on the emptiness and trying to rip out the emptiness. The emptiness goes by filling the glass with water. When you have bad feelings, you are empty of love, and so when you put love into yourself, the bad feelings are gone." -The Power--by Rhonda Byrne

I like to think that each of us has at our core a bright light where Spirit resides.  We all have it but around that light are many clouds-some can be very dark.  We need to get around all those clouds or feelings that keep us from our core.  Those feelings could be self-doubt, hate, distrust, revenge, unforgiveness - you name it- they are all bad and do nothing for us or for others.  We can't sit there and complain about all of the clouds.  We have to work hard to clear those things that keep us from feeling love and gratitude.  Lent is the perfect time to clean up and open our hearts. Peace.
