(continued from This is When the Magic Happens ~ Act 2: Find the Love)

The image of the warrior standing alone at the end of the night has returned, only this time struggling harder than ever to get off the ground. Normally unphased by the slings and arrows of the everyday battle, even welcoming them knowing they make him stronger........this time two arrows have pierced his heart at the same time.........and he feels as if he has lost the heart to go on.

He needs to use his sword just to help him get on his knees........his head down........eyes closed........in immense pain........Even though great victory has been achieved........he has suffered even greater defeat in his heart.....

Calling for the cool night rain to wash off the dirt from his mangled hair and the blood from his scarred face and body........imagining the water of the god's soaking into him through his skin and down into his soul........and giving him the courage and strength to stand once again.........

He hears whispers from the coming winds bringing great rain clouds his way.........

You must get up! ......You have to!........We all have to!..........To STAND.....ONCE AGAIN!

This......This is the rise of man!

And with trembling hands gripping the sword's handle, his forehead pressed against the soiled blade........he begins to feel something different.....

Instead of feeling distant and disconnected from others....he begins to feel connected to every soul in the universe......


past and present

He is in a moment shared by all of humanity........the moment when you simply feel you can't go on.......or even should.......

And saying silent prayers from moving lips..........not knowing how.........but fully intending that he will stand again........

Only this time with more INTELLIGENCE and UNDERSTANDING than ever before.....with more PASSION and FIRE than ever before......

That when he does stand he will spread his arms and raise them to the sky in full appreciation for a the chance to live a full life..........

So grateful and so much more than he ever was before that light will burst from his soul and his entire world will be illuminated in the explosion........Because we are meant to be ALIVE with LIFE!

.......If he can just hold on a little longer........if he can just hold on until the rains come to rejuvenate him.......

Concentrating on that small light within himself that never goes out.........focusing on that beauty and truth that we can CREATE a better world versus let it be DESTROYED......until it becomes bigger and brighter.........bigger and brighter!

Because this is when the magic happens.......in this moment of holding on.......having the courage to stand when confidence is gone.........having the courage to stand in the face of insurmountable odds........

Having faith in oneself and one's world...........no matter what..........Listening not to those who say it can't be done.....but to those who say it can....and must

He must find the heart to go on.......We must find the heart to go on in spite of our circumstances........in spite of our difficulties

This is life in all its emotions being fully experienced......This is the journey being fully lived, no matter where the destination takes us!

And when we do find the strength to rise once again..........we rise above ourselves........and create brand new worlds in the process where once impossible things are now part of a magical possibility......

A world where fellow travelers journey together......shaking hands in confidence and courage.......learning from one another instead of fighting.......rising above limitation after limitation........generation after generation!








This is the journey of the human soul.
