The Unseen

   There is a constant shifting and moving in the unseen. Under the earth where our sight cannot see we know there are deep root structures, animals nestled, insects burrowing, bulbs waiting to be summoned again. We cannot see this yet we know it to be true because we see the trees growing tall, we see the flowers grow and bloom. When we dig down into the earth we see the proof of it as well.

 So it is in our bodies. There is a constant movement of our blood through our arteries and veins, oxygen flowing through us and carbon dioxide out, and the brain is ever sending its' silent messages.
 
In the Ocean's depth the constant flow of currents, the tides that go in and out, all the sea life that thrives in all the layers of the depths. We can't see this but when we investigate and search it is all there.

So many unseen movements, lives, happenings ~ unseen and yet there.

  How must it also be in the spiritual realm of the unseen. The constant shifting and moving of powers struggling for monopoly. The evil always fighting to have its way ~ to ensnare and enshroud ~ while glorious good constantly waves its banner of truth infusing light and beauty, at some point, in every dark place. We feel our heart beat and yet we cannot see it. We feel the battle of good versus evil and yet it is not always obviously seen. The theme in it all is that it is indeed there ~ powerful, vital, and needing to be acknowledged. The good brings us clarity, encouragement, and hope, while the evil brings lies, anxiety and confusion.

  In being aware of this we are less trapped between the tension and are free to clearly choose our course. The unseen, though unseen exists. The unseen in nature, in our bodies, in the Sea, is all crucial to our vitality ~ and this rings true with the spiritual realm as well. Being alert to more than is directly in front of our eyes will give us the awareness we need to really grow and shift and choose.

  I offer these thoughts during a season of time where many struggle. Christmas time can bring up deeply buried hurts. This pain and sadness can either be faced, acknowledged, felt and processed and light can be shone to bring healing into that place inside, or it can go other ways that are more harmful and cause even more pain. Be aware of the unseen, of the whole body ~ the spiritual, mental, emotional, physical body. It is all connected. It all matters just as much.
