Sometimes compromise is a very good thing and brings unity and respect and much love. Sometimes it is as easy as compromising on going out to dinner... say Chinese smorg for adults with a menu to order a burger for the kiddlettes. Or maybe going to visit relatives, but staying in a bed and breakfast. Compromise keeps the peace on such issues.
BUT - there is a compromise that asks you to conform to what others believe. It hits on the very heart and core of who you are and all your deepest sacred beliefs. I have been asked to compromise. I am a person who cares and cares fervently about what I do and how I express what I believe. Compromise would bring me an unbearable shame to the core of my very breath... It would transform me into a shell of a corpse with worms eating my heart and mind right out of me. Sounds drastic doesn't it? It is! I know what I believe and why. No one has the right to ask me to compromise. Passion was placed within me as I was formed in my mother's womb. I cannot abort the very essence of who I am. I can compromise on what is for dinner or where to pitch a tent... but who I am is not up for negotiation! 
It truly does take courage to do what is right. People gasp and snort, making all kinds of noisey protests! Yet each of us though joined together... stands or falls alone. I stand with great strength right now. I have a shaking within me - but it is not fear... it is more like the thunderous downpour of a high waterfall ~ the strength and awesome power it creates! High overhead is a brilliant rainbow of promise and validation. I am living more authentic as my days pass by and I rest easy within the wise choices I make and live boldly!

Today the sun is brilliant outside... the fresh fallen snow has twinkled its way into raindrops dripping down trunks of trees. The wild pheasants have come for their daily gobbling of wheat and apples. The squirrels dash about digging at the base of trees and clamor back up to high branches with their treasured stash! I have enjoyed the peacefilled bliss of nature that surrounds our home in great abundance. That same peace not only surrounds this fortress in which I live... but it invades my heart and makes me deeply glad I know the One who is Creator. I have worked all day and have two full pages of writing... just like that squirrel I clamor to my resting place and savor the delight and wisdom my study has endowed me with. I feel strengthened inspite of this body that beats me viciously. Lion~*
I have been searching for a place where I can freely express myself... I found it within my very own self... Now I will allow my soul to sing in this Space to Trace this Heart of Mine! I have felt a multitude of emotions beating upon the inner walls of my heart with fists demanding to get out... So they shall... All in good time... They shall. 
Emotions are rather like tiny seeds... when you plant them somewhere with good soil and light... they grow into an amazing array of vibrant awe inspiring beauty! I am Lion~*Paw and I am letting my soul sing !
