One cannot sleep with the lights on

The plan was to follow on from the "no pain no gain' article but in light of being burgled tonight i digress....

One cannot sleep with the lights on

How does one remain resilient when there are waves of evil thrust upon your world?

How does one sleep when on has ALL the lights on to ward off the evil and keep peace and purity within?

How does one not become cynical and petty staking perimeters and ownership to protect what remains?

How does one let go of irreplaceable memories when one feels ill at the acknowledgement they are gone?

How does one cultivate love and joy when the dark and sad weighs so dominantly and disperses throughout ones entire being?

How does one not see others as the enemy… the perpetrators and starts to see humans again?

How can one feel so isolated and alone amongst millions, so vulnerable and small with the walls of a sturdy house?

How does one not feel invaded- violated- cheated- targeted- angry- disappointed- sad?

How does one find the lesson within?

How does one not show how alone they truly are?

How does one stay on their path when the gradient is ever increasing and the rest stops do not allow sufficient refuelling?

Life suddenly became effortful and this one does not have the energy….


tonight.
Tomorrow is another day- energy is renewable.

So what is the lesson?
What is actually lost?
