I have been reading this BIG book and it keeps using the term "higher power"*...
I believe in God.
Goddess.
Jesus is my homeboy, fo sho!
But...
This whole a power higher than myself thinga ma jingy I just can't get on board with.
Odd.
It's really stirring stuff up for me. Confused really.
Like, why is it so hard for me to believe there IS a power higher than myself?
Got me thinkn...
I have had to take care of myself for so freakn long.
It is difficult for me to arrive at the idea that there is something higher than me.
I have had to to be my own higher power for so freakn long I simply don't believe there COULD be a power higher than myself.
Today, Do you believe there is a power higher than yourself? Is there a God?!? What do you call em?!?
Noodle it!
So...
*I was reading the book on the F train. It's become my travel companion. I was in the depths of reading and rereading the higher power stuff. And in my head thinking I don't know if I believe in this jargon...
This wacky little old guy gets on the train and is shuffling around his bags, going through his stuff, and muffling words under his breathe.
Till I hear this...
"That book saved my life."
I turned and said how did you see the title?!? He said he knows the book by heart!
I moved in closer and we chatted from Brooklyn to NYC.
He made me cry. It was so beautiful. I told him I don't get the whole higher power stuff. And he said, "Sweetheart, you can't expect this white light moment. It's as simple as a shift of personality." He told me the page and to read it. I did. What he said next is magic...
"Do you want to change?"
I said yes.
He asked, "If I wanted to change before I started this journey?"
I said no.
He said, "Well, then that's a shift of personality."
Period.
...
HELL YEAH!!!!
I told him, "I was looking for God and I found him in you. You are my Angel."
2 Strangers had a Spiritual Encounter on the F train.
God exists.
In people.
In the world.
In us.
Gotta figure out what to call her ;)
