God of all illumination stands ready within our hearts to share with us the profound beauty of the lightness of love to the fullest extent. When we open ourselves up to the possibility that what lies within in us is a lucid experience of love, not the darkness we fear we step into alignment with God. One of my all time favorite songs (a go to song to listen to when I want to feel grounded) is Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. In it I hear the voice of God: “If you open your mind for me, you won’t rely on open eyes to see. The walls you built within come tumbling down, a new world will begin . . . I will be watching over you. I am gonna help you see it through. I will protect you in the night. I am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity.” When I began this path of recovery in which I let go of my drug of choice (food, body hatred), I had no idea that I was running from all of the seeming darkness that I believed was inside of me. I had for so long run off of the stories in my head that I created to explain the madness I was experiencing at home growing up feeling unsafe and unprotected from my own parents. I needed to explain the confusion at being loved and betrayed all at the same time. Like most children I took it on as my fault. I recognize now that my parents were just doing what they knew to do. It took me many years to come to a place of forgiveness. I am grateful for the grace of that forgiveness that allows me to love them and most of all be at peace with my own heart because it doesn’t reek of anger and fear. We all have our own individual experiences that at some point invite us to seek something beyond what our human eyes can see. Trusting in this lucidity is what allows me to not rely on what just my human eyes see but God’s eyes which open me to a whole new world. I know that God is smiling next to me, always. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to believe that the lucidity of God is within us no matter how many stories we have to the contrary. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
