SUPPOSE

by Kathleen Dudley

Suppose you knew that oxygen supplies were about to end. And that your knowledge of the importance of oxygen to your aliveness was undeniably clear—that death was imminent? Would fear grip and smother the love in your heart?

Suppose you were given the key to perfect health and longevity. Would this give you joy or sadness knowing that you had decades more living to fill, to finance, to face?

Suppose your capacity to laugh was taken away from you due to some deeply wounding experience. Have you ever pondered if your inner strengths—your core self—could rise above and beyond such a distress?

Suppose joy and happiness fell upon your life in abundance and with regularity. When the opposites, sorrow and sadness, found their way into your life, as all dualities eventually do, would they hold equally strongly, or would they linger only fleetingly?

Suppose everything is as fluid as water, as energy flows, as do emotions move into and through us as surely as the moon through her cycle—laughter, tears, joy and sorrow. Suppose it is all a dream and nothing is real—but a chaotic randomness of human trials and tribulations to bump up our vibrational frequencies to help hone our soul growth and ultimately set us free.
