When I started writing my blog it started out about my newfound love of God. How he set me free from alcoholism and my toxic dysfunctional family. I shared my blog with family members and pastors but received no feedback whatsoever. The more I studied the more I wrote and I related everything in my life to the scriptures. I related God to everything. He became my husband, father, friend, brother, sister, lover, mother.
The deeper I got the darker my writings got and some would say it was hateful; but it came straight from scripture which IS dark and hateful. Especially the Old Testament. The New Testament makes no sense without the Old and Jesus made that clear as does the book of Revelation.
Now that I’m free from the bible spell I thought maybe my writings would stop since I firmly believed it was the holy spirit giving me words to write; but I haven’t stopped. Writing is my therapy. Writing shows me who I am, and what’s inside that I otherwise wouldn’t see or know. I wore a mask for so long as most people do. Why? Kids don’t. When do we start to put these masks on? Different masks for different people. Then we lose ourselves, our true selves as the masks start to take over and the child within fades away to become someone we’re not. We say things we don’t mean and don’t say what we really mean. So we have a bunch of fake people walking around with masks, too scared to reveal their true self. It’s deceptive.
Why don’t animals do this? Maybe that’s why we love our pets so much because they are true to who they are and they love us for who WE are. They give love without asking “what’s in it for me”? They don’t care what our social status is, what we look like, or our religious/political preferences. They accept our flaws and imperfections. They don’t hold grudges and they aren’t out to hurt others to make themselves look better. Bottom line is they have no pride only humility and unconditional love. We can learn a lot from the Animal Kingdom yet the Bible puts man up on a pedestal above them, whereas the Native American people see them as our brothers and sisters. Our equals, deserving of the same respect and love that we desire. Yet we can’t even give this to our own; mankind. Which is probably why we feel the need to wear masks around people because they are unable to love and accept us as animals do.
Animals can sense fear and deception, especially horses. We may be able to lie to people but we can’t lie to them and we can only lie to ourselves for so long before the mask starts to suffocate us and we die.
