Thoughts Along the Journey - Positive Construction - Building the True Foundation

     What makes a tree stand tall and grow many feet into the sky?  What enables a bridge to span the widest river?  What gives stability to even the wandering soul across a lifetime of roaming and seeking?  Deep roots, a firm foundation and connection to the Author of our soul.

     The same principles that are revealed in nature hold true for each of us.  Building a strong foundation for life doesn't necessarily mean living in one place throughout our years.  That has its benefits and also its detriments.  What animates us, what gives us strength to grow and thrive lies deep within our being.

     The stronger we allow our connection to our Source, the more stable we grow, the more we flourish, the more our lives take on a greater meaning.

     It is not in building up muscles to mirror strength; it is not in exercising our brain to retain clarity of mind.  What gives strength and lucidity is stepping out in faith and trusting in the Goodness that surrounds and infills us.
