Blades

Ah, how hushed and undarkened is the mind of a knife, its lackluster blade lying alone and dormant in a kitchen drawer.

Yet it somehow springs to life as when one is asked a question, doesn't answer but remains stoically silent...just a brief pause in conversation and now you are startled by their sudden defiance, a subtle yet unmistakable line drawn in the sand by the mind of a finely honed blade, a refusal and resistance on their part that now deeply transcends any hope of further conversation on a subject they clearly do not want to pursue anymore.

The conversation now turns to small talk,,,"what did you think of the weather this afternoon" or, "how are the kids?"

You feel that this person has now (for reasons known only to them) revealed an intimate part of themselves, something fierce, maybe an unwillingness to continue talking because of something they fear.

They now have revealed a chink in their armor and one that has taken you by surprise because you always thought this person could not, possibly, be afraid of anything.

You come away with the feeling that there is another side and this is someone you definitely do not want to reckon with if pushed too far.    

The sly glint of a blade was seen, but for an instant, as your mind caught a momentary glimpse of a silvery flash as it was seen cutting the air in half.      

This is an example of just one of the many energies that we may encounter and be subjected to during the course of our lives.

It's bad enough you're dealing with one energy but what if a myriad of others are involved?

It can become extremely difficult if not downright impossible to sort them all out.

This is why Empaths need to take breaks often from daily routines (meditation and prayer) because the emotional turmoil they're sensing and experiencing is just too much to handle.

This is a normal occurrence for those who are deeply connected to the many earth vibrations and energies that surround all of us.

This ability is inherent in all but is not easily recognized because of the extraordinarily busy lives we live.

Who has time to sit down and sort out a bunch of feelings when you're trying to pay the bills, raise a family and keep a roof over your head?

I do believe that sometime down the road though, scientists are going to finally acknowledge that this ability definitely deserves some type of recognition and research.

It may very well end up helping others and offer humanity some solutions to the myriad of problem it now faces.

At this point, we need all the help we can get.
