My Personal Ukranian War
For the last few weeks,
I have been watching the war
between the Ukranians and the Russians.
On the one hand,
I hate what I am seeing.
I cringe over the lack of respect
for human life,
I pray for the courage of those
fighting for their freedom and democracy.
I grieve at the destruction
and with those who have lost loved ones.
At the same time, I see myself in this war.
I see how in my own life,
I have to face my demons.
I have to face them with a vision for my future.
I have to remember to give thanks for what I have
and to daily work to maintain a humble heart.
I cannot run from the demons within me
because to try to avoid them,
simply challenges them to
make themselves even more present in my life.
Like the Ukrainians,
I must tap into my own inner warrior,
pick up the gauntlet
and face my demons.
When I don’t, I am inviting them
to continue to haunt me,
torture me,
and reduce me.
I have to be the warrior of change
in my own life.
I am the one fighting daily
for my own freedom,
my own growth,
my own evolution.
This war with my demons
is not always pretty
or easy,
but it is about securing
my freedom
and peace
