You left this poem a long time ago, Proud Leo . Your words still inspire us.......
Relationships are valuable. You can learn more about YOU in the contrasts you feel with these who surround you.
When negative things, like disappointments, happen it can be a most-arresting feeling. Like you 'wasted' that time, somehow. {{ }}
Makes you take that backward-step sometimes, which can ultimately allow you to actually move More-Forward (in the time measured by soul) than you think. These are the things that mature us (as painful as they may be).
Sometimes we can feel all that darkness covering over us in that process of losses... The darkness of not knowing all answers, and of feeling worthless and sad when that happens, can feel so cruel while we're in-there. {{ }}
While you sit withIN that darkness, the one making all the chatter, is the 'one' for you to consider. It's not what happens to you that counts the most. It's the part of you experiencing it in the most radiating center of it all...
Sometimes when time 'appears' as though it has just slowed you down, it's possible for you to begin to real-ize a place of Stillness. From that still-place, you may find that the choices you make (from closer to the middleCenter) will ultimately jump you into finding the ultimate Being of who you Are.
Being and living 'who you really truly are' will not always feel like 'darkness all the time'.... The core of who you are holds the light-of-Knowing in you.
People who know me here, know how much I love Christmas. And I am an eclectic Being... I can see the inspiration at the base of other's (universal) symbols. I recently viewed a video on how to light a Hannukah candle-abra. (yes, in my own creative description of it, gently meaning no disrespect here to traditions )
YOU discover (with time) that you are the Server-candle.
One-by-one, we light the other candles around us in life.... As day changes into new days, (or even lifetimes to more lifetimes), we keep adding and lighting more candles.
Eventually we can find wisdom in that old saying that no one holds a candle to you... Because we all shine with the same Brightness. We are all candles lit from a Greater and Equal Light.
Don't lose the Faith of finding out who you are... Never Stop!
