A Voice of Reason

        Many voices have been heard in mourning, many voices in sadness and many voices in prayerful communication. In times where there is no direction that is forseeable, we lift our eyes to the heavens for answers. We beseech and sometimes plead for leadership and guidance. Without that communicative strand or connection, we would feel quite hopeless and in despair. When there is chaos and disturbances on earth, there is no one voice which can expect to speak for all. We can hope that there is a voice that will reason or will be reasonable or will reason out the unknown that we seek. Unfortunately, that cannot be accomodated. We have to trust and wait to hear what our leaders tell us as we strive to continue in our daily routines.

        The voice of reason is, many times, spoken through various people, but there is no one who will take it to heart. We continue to be in darkness and the path that lies ahead seems dark and long. What can we do in times like these? How can we function and prepare for that which must be faced? We can be our own voice of reason. We can think of how we meet each day and how we communicate with others. Do we let the happenings around us drag us down or do we rise above it? It is not that these times will be easy. They will not, but we can prepare our inner selves to be protected from the outer world. It is in the inner world that we can go for comfort for there in the deepest part of that world is always a voice of reason. There, we can go to withdraw from the outer influences and the stresses and strains, and there we can find peace. We can then take that influence, that feeling, that knowledge, and bring it into the light by trying to manifest it in our life outwardly. To be that voice of reason may be that of a small action, or act, to think of others before the self, to reach out to those who are hurting and to try to help mend their spirit as they suffer through their sadness. We all have something to offer and in that offer, we must remember that the voice that we do not see is the voice we should listen to, the voice that guides us....... that is the true Voice of Reason.
