In the End
And maybe, in the end, it's just truly realizing that we had to go through every one of those experiences to get us to the point that it's how we treat one another that really matters...Love Never Fails :)
Spiritual Growth
The world today talks so much about Spiritual Growth but it really only ever takes place when you can bring it into your everyday life...every encounter, every interaction and especially with those loved ones who are always a part of your life experience, that's where real Spiritual Growth happens. If it doesn't affect your everyday life...it ain't worth squat :)

Patterns
Everything that arises in our experience is, on some level, created by us for our own growth and expansion... the Universe makes no mistakes. When we really get this we can begin to accept it All and we move through those seemingly challenging experiences with much more ease and they in turn pass out of our experience much more quickly. When we realize what we need to learn from each and every experience... the pattern ceases to exist.

Kids Know
Yeah kids can teach us more than we can ever teach them.
Conversation I overheard from my youngest and his little friend when they were having a disagreement last night...
Justin :" Well you don't know if that's really true or not"
Friend : "Yes it is"
Justin : "Well how do you know?"
Friend : "Because my Mom told me"
Justin : "That doesn't mean it's true"
Friend : "Yes it does, my Mom knows everything"
Justin : ``NOBODY knows everything... even my Mom doesn't know Everything.``
A minute later they just resumed playing as if the conversation never took place.
I have one smart kid :)
...Open to possibilities

Big Words
That last post just brought a memory back...actually two. As a young kid my siblings hated me using big words so most of the time I didn't use my full vocabulary. When I was 16 I remember handing in an English assignment and the teacher told me it was immature and I couldn't write. In all fairness it probably was because I didn't put any effort into it, but I did choose to believe her and for 27 yrs I didn't write. Ha! She got that one wrong. And really a true teacher will always bring out the best in their students...is it any wonder most kids don't realize their true potential.
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis...quite a big word but it really just means change or transformation. And maybe that's just what it's all about...not for anyone else but for ourselves. We talk so much about letting go but maybe it's more about transformation.
If everything has a higher purpose and a reason in the bigger scheme of things, then just maybe it's merely about transforming those things we deemed as wrong by changing our perception of them and using that as fuel to propel us on this journey and allowing ourselves to see that higher purpose.
Sure we can be angry and bear resentment toward the injustices themselves but to hold on to resentment toward the perpetrators, who are human beings merely acting out of ignorance, hurts no-one but ourselves...forgiveness toward another truly is the greatest gift we can give ourselves :)

Signs
Signs... they're always there when we look for them. But what comes next? Do we ever really know?

All the words in the world
All the words in the world can never compare to the experience itself.
I can describe to someone what a mango tastes like, but if they've never tasted one my words will never do justice to the actual experience of tasting it.
We've created a world with many cultures and religions fighting to defend their own definition of God through teachings and words that they define as 'right' and 'wrong'. When the truth is God can only ever be experienced by each individual themselves ( as all the really great teachers showed by living example and by pointing the way Within ). And until each individual realizes this for themselves, they'll keep looking everywhere to solve a mystery that resides right within their own Being.

Movement
Having always loved shopping for new things but feeling guilty about accumulating stuff or worse yet being attached to it, in recent months I've come up with a wonderful solution that works beautifully. Every time I buy something, either for myself the house or the kids, I give something else away. It works wonderfully because I get to enjoy what I buy, without accumulating more or being attached to it, because I give it away eventually... everything just keeps moving and eventually someone else gets to enjoy it :)

So close and yet so far.
Sadly, most are so afraid of their true identity,they hide behind all that they're not. There's no void to be filled, only a stripping away of the self delusions that cover the true essence...It's right there.
...So close and yet so far.

Who Am I? Who Is Me?
We take on so many roles in this physical experience but seldom take the time to really discover who we Are beyond them. To my children I'm Mom, but undoubtedly to each of them the individual perception of that role is subtly different. To my parents I'm their daughter but no doubt to my Mom and Dad daughter means something different. To each of my siblings I'm a sister, but each of them attach their own meaning and expectation to that role. To my friends I'm a friend, and that role can cover a wide spectrum of possibilities dependent on the nature and expectation of each individual.
The personality known as Me wears the cloak of the appropriate character in every given role and each of those roles comprise of all the perceptions I garnered along the way... from the free spirited kid to the woman who's finally listening to that spirit once again. And just maybe when I infuse each of those roles with the real essence of that spirit within do all my relationships take on a whole new light and in the process I begin to discover Who I Truly Am... Just Me but so much More :)

Do You See What I See?
"Mom do You see what I see?"... A profound question from an 8 yr old.
Since the world we experience is made up from our own individual choices and perceptions, do we ever really see what another sees? Probably not, until we take the time to really consider the other's point of view and even then it's probably still tinted with some individual interpretation.
But maybe one of the greatest gifts we can give is to See in another what they don't See in themselves.

Three Little Words
All too often we use three little words in our life, sometimes not taking the time to contemplate what we're saying. Since we're All Love at the very essence of our being then I Love You are only words, if they're merely spoken and not shown.
And just maybe three more powerful words to offer anyone in this physical life experience are Don't Doubt Yourself...
Don't Doubt Yourself :)

Experience
I eliminated the word problem from my vocabulary quite a while ago and traded it for the word challenges. But I've come to realize challenge has just as many negative connotations...implying a duel or something to be overcome, when really there's nothing to overcome and it's pretty futile to resist What Is. It's all just experiences in my story which I choose to create, perceiving some as good and some not so good... but I get to learn and grow from each and every one and that's why we're here.
Each and every experience will pass eventually...Ride the highs and Flow with the lows... It's All Good :)

Deep
When You wade through the mud and the silt of the shallow waters, the water becomes clearer the deeper You go....just remember to come up for air :)
Express Yourself
Angry at the violation of innocence of one too young to comprehend.
Angry at the meaningless bloodshed and death witnessed in the name of religion or for a piece of land... young men who literally starved themselves to death for a 'cause'.
Angry at those who allowed it to happen and swept it under the rug when it came to light.
But mostly angry at myself for allowing it all to influence the choices I made and shape the life I created and the people I attracted.
Repressing it deeper and deeper and becoming more embroiled in the role of 'victim' when my spirit knew I was no-one's victim.
Self directing that anger which manifested as guilt because I didn't know how to express it...how ludicrous to feel guilt and shame because of what someone else done and because I didn't know how to stop it.
Consistently feeling guilty when the other person was angry and hurting, no matter how much I tried to come at it from Love.
But just maybe that's not what Spirit was asking from me...It already knows I can't even kill a bug.
Express Yourself...Let it flow and LET IT GO.
Say it, Write it, Sing it, Dance it, Paint it or Scream it from the FUCKING rooftops...just LET IT GO.
Emotion is just that...energy in motion, it's not supposed to be held on to.
And in the end none of it really matters because LOVE IS THE ONLY REALITY...the rest is merely an illusion created from the human mind that resides in ignorance and it's futile to fight an illusion because it doesn't exist.
JUST LOVE :)
