The Assurance of Life
Contributed by Shaunelle Curry
We go through so many changes in this life, learning so many things. Our paths may take us to the core of poverty and the pinnacle of wealth several times in one lifetime. We grow old and die of certain ways of doing things, then rebirth into a new dimension of perception and experience in a moment’s time. It is as though we wake up and the world is not as it had been. We wonder how long we had been moving through a dream. The knot in the stomach subsides for a time and we realize it had been but a bundle of energetic anguish, not a whale swimming far below the shore. What reality is this that we live where nothing really is forever the same? What life is this that we live?
“I Am Free” is my liberty song, releasing me from what bound me yesterday, whether darkness, soot or doubt. “I Am Free” is my cry to the wind, the undercurrent of melody below a child’s embrace. “I Am Free” becomes my declaration of independence, self-determination and self-sacrifice into this Life which arcs itself into my call, asking only for all of me, all of the time, in all ways imaginable and yet unimagined.
I am free! I am free! I am free!
Today, I feel, I experience, pure joy in my awareness of Truth. I am both subtly and profoundly aware of a once secret mist streaming through my consciousness. I am aware of the assurance of Life. I am aware that I am going to make it. I am aware today, this hour, this moment, that for sure my success—full throttle—is granted. Not only is there no room for doubt, there is NO NEED for it either.
Finally, finally, I picture myself as the business woman and feel a distinct sense of self in it. I feel myself as writer, as artist, as healer, as Light, as accomplished wombman in service to this Life, pursuing and living my life in the presence, as the very essence, of my function. This, I am knowing. This is such a reflection, this is such an awareness, powerful and subtle the same, that before where there was hope, now there is assurance. Before where the possibility lingered, now conviction abides. Before, where I wondered, wandering deep into daydreams of “maybe” and “might,” now I put into place the building blocks for my life’s foundation, its structure, and its core.
Today I decide to live this life I have dreamt of. I am aware of Angels dancing on my head, singing sweet mysteries of Life and its promises. Today I am aware that the dream I dream is already fulfilled.
Today, the curtain rises.
I know I will do what it takes. I will have the resources and support needed and requested. I will overcome the opposition. I will rise from the ashes of defeat; I will declare VICTORY as the essence of my Life’s call. This I know with wisdom unheard before this moment, now singing its masterpiece in me. I am knowing this, loving this, tasting this, not as dream but as being. It is as I Am and It Is so.
This awareness comes not because somebody told me so or hushed my fears or promised me something I once hungered for. The certainty is brimming forth within my own soul, in spite of conceptions titled “success” or “failure.” It stands as I stand. It bows even as I bow.
Ha! Ha! What JOY to know and experience the true ASSURANCE of Life, where it is Given even as it is Spoken. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Thank You!
Today, I choose—today, I LIVE my LIFE.
