Fearful mind encounters good things...

Allen Ginsberg was interviewed in The Village Voice about fifteen years ago. One of the statements he made that has stuck with me was, “Bad thoughts let them go. Good thoughts let them go.”  Such a strange idea to not me attached to the good.  This week some good shit has been happening and I have seen my fearful addictive mind do the same moves it does with bad shit.  What a strange realization.  Not only do I need to know God’s will to handle fucked up things, but also to handle good news and blessings.  So much fear.  The difference is now I see it for what it is (more often than not) and can ask my Higher Power even my moral conscience if I am coming from the right place.  Am I being rigorously honest even in the face of fear?  Am I taking right action and trusting God, even when I am afraid?  This is new terrain and I’m scared, but the peace I feel and the blessing bestowed upon me increase with the work.  I grateful for a path with Heart it does not matter where it leads.  It only matters that seek to stay on it.
