Bright Space

Challenges
by Dane Allred

When we face the challenges of living in this complicated world
There are times we get discouraged

Facing the choices of each day
Thinking we are alone can make the smallest of decisions
Overwhelming

When we wonder what to do
When we try to decide between
This and that

We need to remember that we were all once together
In that Bright Space

Where we knew all there was to know
In perfect harmony

But then we realized
We could know more
Be more
If we came here to experience
This life of ours.

We are learning how to deal with our challenges
One day at a time.

But there are kindred souls on this journey with us
All those who were with us in the Bright Space
Here to help us remember
Why we are here
What we are here to learn
So when we return to the Bright Space
To share all we have experienced

Our challenges are our special challenges
Meant just for us
Just the kind of challenge we were sent here to face
In a way that only we could.

But we don’t have to face it alone.

Look around.
There are people everywhere who are ready to help
Those people who were with us in the Bright Space.
Who are ready to help us learn all that we can learn.

It happens when that person we just met
Seems to be someone we have known forever

It happens when that certain thing happens
Which couldn’t happen

When that intersection of my world and your world
Collide.

Pay attention so you don’t miss that one person
That one situation meant to help you along the way.

Then you will be able to accomplish those things your were meant to do
Those things you are here to do

Let’s watch for each other
And when we recognize that light we once shared
We can help each other
Accomplish all that we need to do.

What will we accomplish together?
