Every Lifetime Has
A Cross To Bear

Every lifetime has a cross to bear!
Every soul has a cross to bear—
and some have more than one!

-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"

My Writing About My Blogs Being Sabotaged By Someone Who Is Very 'Tech Savvy,' Regarding The Blog Post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" [September 21st, 2021 Update]:

I think that my blogs are being sabotaged by someone who is very 'tech savvy,' and they may be someone that I know, because I have noticed strange things happening while I have been editing my writing, which includes the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" not appearing on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!

And, even though I can see it on the Blogger Dashboard, and I can go to that post directly, it appears as if I never published that particular blog post on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog!

So, I provided a hyperlink to the blog post "Every Lifetime Has A Cross To Bear" from the aforementioned blog on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Three Dark Horses" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs. (Please see the hyperlinks below for the posts.) You see, I am afraid of having that post appear as if it is not, in fact, published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog—and that is why I provided a hyperlink. (Please see the hyperlink below for the post.)

My Spiritual Notes:

The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: Every lifetime has a cross to bear! In other words, every soul has a cross to bear—in each and every lifetime—and some have more than one!

What inspired this poem are the difficulties that I have dealt with in life, including having a truly dysfunctional childhood, since I was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ("The Mormon Church") and health challenges that I have dealt with, including issues with spiritual health, mental health and physical health (the reader should know that I am HIV-positive and that I have full-blown AIDS) all of which were based upon My Karma!

And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."

This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.

Post No. 069: The Oneness Of God — 'Your Enemy Is Your Fear!'

(Image from We Heart It)

'Your Enemy Is Your Fear!'

The challenge isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the challenge
that is your enemy!

The change isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the change
that is your enemy!

The burden isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the burden
that is your enemy!

The risk isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the risk
that is your enemy!

The failure isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the failure
that is your enemy!

The work isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the work
that is your enemy!

The rework isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the rework
that is your enemy!

The drudgery isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the drudgery
that is your enemy!

The breakdown isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the breakdown
that is your enemy!

The repair isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the repair
that is your enemy!

The change isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the change
that is your enemy!

The challenge isn't your enemy;
it is your fear of the challenge
that is your enemy!
