Driving a Stake in the Ground

Be awake! …attentive about the path that you are on. Make opportunities to aid others; to declare your convictions; to confess your loves. In this way you will drive a stake in the ground of your being. It will mark your faith, your belief, and your sacrifices; so that if/when you slip into fear; so that if you loose your footing and fall back into doubt; so that if one night The Dark Hound seizes you and tries to drag you down the mountain into despair, you will have something to grab hold of. And by holding on you can declare, “This is my path.” And then standing to your feet you can say, “And this is what I love.”

“…drive a stake in the ground, …so that when you lose your footing and fall back … you will have something to grab hold of.”
