Self-centeredness and religion go hand in hand.
If my sister
were able to see how little religion means to me she just might figure out that
she matter to me regardless of her self-labelling. It is, however, seemingly
impossible for her to separate her own self from the indoctrinated self.
Really, I think that if screening had been going on when I
was a child I would have been considered "on the spectrum". NOT good
at "blocking."
This is true there are some people in your life family or
not, that I have come to realized that they don't belong in my life; they are
just not for me!
I have learned to be okay with that.
My friendship is priceless, and it is given to those who
appreciate and would care for me and my welfare. Those people are hard to find,
but when found I will, have and shall give my friendship freely.
This morning as I was walking down a familiar path, suddenly
there are questions raging, questions that seem to demand immediate answers.
What to do with this precious gift of a life?
Where to go?
What to say next?
Which choice to make or not make?
Which voice to listen to?
How to make everything
okay?
How to hold it all together?
How to avoid falling apart?
And suddenly the questions cannot hold, they shatter into a
million silences, because a tiny bird has perched itself on the path in front
of you, perched in the here and now, not in the there and then in which you are
seeking your answers.
You keep staring at it, and then came an answer, the unexpected bird was telling me>>>>>you know that everything is okay
with the universe. Questions will get answered, or not, and solutions will
appear or not appear at the perfect time, because you will make yourself
available to them, as you are available now to this tiny and unexpected bird.
Perhaps today is not a day for answers and unshakeable certainties;
it is a day for birdsong and staying close to questions as they walk with you
down familiar paths.
Namaste
love light and peace
