Got that same message today too, Zala. Maybe they are "tweaking" the system. IP: Logged |

I find it fascinating how this thread has evolved... from a frustrated minute rant of mine to a discussion of vulnerability.I couldn't sleep last night. Too many images and fears crowding into my head, and I reread this string... I have always subscribed to the idea of "don't tell anyone anything you wouldn't want to see in a newspaper headline." Yet, I consider myself an open person. I hide a lot of what I truly feel in funny anecdotes and stories. The only way I learned to protect myself through a wretched childhood and the tumulutous twenties was to create a mile thick wall behind which my true self lives. This has been the only way to control myself. No one can deal with my rages and emotional storms- NO one. I hide all of that sh!t to keep the peace. Obviously, we can all argue that probably isn't the healthiest thing (hello, can I say totally screwed up throat chakra ) but... I can't won't lay myself bare the way some people do here... I admire it, respect it, but the real world would destroy me if I did. I just wanted to say thanks for making me think about these things. MK IP: Logged |

mk  I had written here the other night, but lost what I'd written when it didn't post. There are many factors that takes one's voice away at such times. I could probably write out a lenghty list. (pride being up there as one...not wanting to burden--past scars of indifferences, not wanting to be defined by passing moments...etc. ) one small fragment~ I opened, bare thought nothing much of presenting a soul I felt existed to share Yet the exposition; the rejected reciprocation stamped magnitude more I could never reclaim Only leave tumbling out there in a timeless breeze Exposed, abandoned, further scattering For profane hands to handle, examine then toss away, as if merely litterings My heart, My heart My very breath tumbling away ...when it is a poignant part of sorrow, it's a most difficult wall to breach. It's such a delicate, fragile line of faith...every little opening becomes this monumental risk. Only taking one more blow.
There was a most stressful spiritually transformative time when I withdrew, becoming for the most part, entirely self-sustaining, realizing my solitary journey in this life was something no other being could know or understand in the same way. (there is potential either way with this realization-- either succumb to further isolation and misery for it, or be strengthened by it, embracing it's empowerment)
It was imperative to hear my own voice in the swirling chaos around me. So much turmoil, I could barely hear myself. I had to shut out the noise of the world and listen. No other way could have saved me or could I have discovered the intuition of direction that could have strengthened me ...or shown me the ways I was meant to travel onwards. A profound reoccuring catalyst is a very deep isolation of feeling out of place here... not having been meant for this world. Stranger in a Strange Land But here...amid horrors that a tender heart finds at times impossible to fathom and endure. I don't think of my sorrow as a relateable experience when I'm immersed in it. The things that affect me don't seem to affect most people. The horrors of this world~ its cruelties. Not to say that I'm not also prone to self-pity, or lacking the realization that this contemplation isn't in its way self-absorbed, for it's recoiling inwards.
I'm always proven otherwise, as I listen and wait on that threshold. This past month at work two coworkers opened to me, such uncanningly familiar struggles, hopes, sorrows. Magical meetings, like a connection of souls in some other realm we remember in our hearts as home. I'm just continually awed by this journey... and all I receive in the most timeliest ways. Like here at LL. So often I've found a connective solace in other's writings here. Nothing goes unrecognized or uncherished.  IP: Logged |

 No, I don't think we were meant for this world. This is the world of illusion. I think that the awakened spirit realizes this, struggles with its captivity and knowledge of the captivity. To acknowledge the suffering in the world is a truly disturbing thing. Sometimes we have to shut ourselves off from it for our own sanity. In a book called 'ThePsychic Power Of Plants' it was discovered that even empathic plants will do this- shut their empathy off, after a while of being exposed to something. We can only do our best, our bit, which every little makes a difference, while we are here- we are only human. Laughter, music and beauty are the best medicine for healing!  And Lia....there is something about your words, the way you write and the way the thoughts/energy flow from you.....it feels like the gentlest angel wings....you give desperate lungs a breath of purity so scarce in a world so lost.... (if that makes sense? lol. Couldn't think of any other way to put it!) Love Is Eternal.

Listens, ... thank you. I feel the same very often from your words.  Like Beauty, Music and Laughter, something about your presence feels like a cooling balm for the Soul. There's so much I sense you'd understand without saying.Zala {{{ }}} same as above about you. Fayte, even feeling a bit weird writing like an out of place award-acceptence speech or something, lol *blush* ... I can't leave significant things left unsaid. These past couple of years, you were the one I felt most safe opening to in the darkest times. Your kindness, your understanding, your care, I will always remember and keep preciously near to my heart. Thank you, dear Soul.  IP: Logged |
