When it seems that time has caught you off guard and tied you in a knot, it is time to take your demon for a walk-in order to free your mind. When your demons are echoing like a gospel choir with words are not lullabies, it is time to hold on to your heart and keep your demons on a leash. When your demons are standing in the middle of your yard of peace, calling out your name, it is then you know it is time to change the nature of your game. You need to change the inner workings of your mind, find the time to keep your demons on a leash. It is time to go within and follow a simple plan to regulate your emotions to extend and support your personal and societal reach. Take it one step at a time, one foot in front of the other.
When I awake in quiet terror and find myself in a silent fear of my world as I know it seemingly coming to an end, I know my demons are trying to break away from their leash. The time for silence is over. I must keep my demons on a proper leash. I must let go and be properly angry, then let go of the rage living inside. Make sure you don’t harm anyone around you because of your rage. It is your job to be responsible for your own feelings. It is nothing but fear unresolved.
It is hard for me to breathe in this world of imperfection and I am missing the silence of my internal peace. I feel the overwhelming urge to run, to find some personal relief. I have the need to feel safe. The walking of my demons will keep the demons from growing in sprouting clusters all around me. I feel as if I am standing in the pathway of a construction crew working overtime as they build condos, complexes and a city park. Before it becomes too crowded, I have taken my demons for a walk in the newly constructed park.
I could run away for safety, but there comes a time you have to stop dancing all alone. It is time to make your moves count like steps climbing a steep mountain with a faith you have a chance to reach the top. If you cannot reach the top, it may be that you could make it at least half way. I remember the chorus of the story echoing in the back of mind. I now must remember the verse that leads into the refrain. I am the maker of my own magic and I always must take your demons for a walk with a proper leash.
This morning fear, it comes in like unleashed demons across the news, trying to take its place in an attempt to live in my neighborhood. You are on the television and my Facebook page. You seem to want my body and my soul. Your hunger seems to have no bottom, no means to feel full. So, before I become consumed by your greed, I must stop dancing alone, take a partner or join a crowd in order to save myself. I have too many moments when I feel as if I can’t breathe. I need the warmth of other human bodies to remind me, I have the gift of breath. In that moment, I can turn my me into a we.
There comes a time the best answer to fear is to live in firm resistance with the faith of achieving the solution needed to raise above your fears. I have to put my fears on a walking leash and take them for a walk, so I can come home to find the answers in the midst of my working moments. I will be proactive in creating the change I would love to see as I leash my fears and exchange them for peace because me and the world; we have dreams to achieve.
