Reflection

It has been WAY to long since I have posted last.

I have been going through SO much change it is crazy, but on today's subject is reflection.
Not the type you might see in a pool or mirror exactly, but more on that later.

When I talk to people, and I talk to a lot of people, I always find it interesting. People, other beings that have their own life, their own stories.

When I talk to them, sometimes they will be angry or sad, or happy.
Of course the happy ones are my favorite and then the sad ones, and last.. the angry ones.

It can be hard to the angry ones. What is important, and I can't stress this enough, is that when they are angry or show different emotions, WE are not the ones they are angry at.
They are simply reflecting on themselves. Hurt people, hurt people.

They are taking their wounds and pain, out on you.
They are taking their worries and fears, out on you.
They are taking their sorrows and tears, out on you
They are taking their joys and triumphs, out on you.

We reflect ourselves to others. This is why it is so important to know your self. Self reflection is a rare find these days, because who like to see their faults as well as their talents?

This is to all of you out there, who deal with hurt people on a daily basis. Every person that you meet is a hurt person, whether now or in the future or the past, at some point they will be hurt.

In dealing with yourself, you are most likely to dealing with a hurt person.

We need to all take a moment and reflect on ourselves. Look into that mirror and see yourself truly for who and what you are. Do not hide anything, look at the beauty and the ugliness.
This is necessary to grow.

If we are stuck in a place where we can't see ourselves, I can't think of a worse fate, for then everyone else will see something that we ourselves are not aware of, or that we CHOOSE not to see.

Don't be fooled, what we see IS a choice when we look into that mirror.
What/who do you see?

All this to say 1.When you get off the phone with someone who was truly hurtful, realize it isn't you, but themselves they are showing.
Everyone will show who they really are in time.

And 2. It is perhaps one of the most important abilities you will ever have, to see, to TRULY see yourself for who you really are.

Peace in the Storm

The Thunder rolls,
the Lightning strikes..

Tonight I saw something I have never seen before ..

I saw lightning strike across a rainbow.

Beauty and Wildness.

Isn't it funny that the two often go hand in hand ?
I am sitting here in my room ,
The window is wide open and the only sounds are the tapping of my keys and the rush of the rain out the window and on the roof.

BUT ..
I can still see the blue sky peeking through the clouds, smiling at me as if to say " Hey ! I haven't left, you just can't quite see me right now, don't worry , I will be back and the sun will shine just as brightly as ever.."

I find peace as the lightning stikes,
I find peace as the thunder rolls,
I find peace as the rainbow shines,
I find peace in the blue sky twinkling at me.

I find peace in that the God who has His eye on the sparrow, has His eye on me.

Would you all just stop worrying ?
There will be enough,
There will always be enough to at least squeak by .
So STOP worrying .. you will be taken care of,

For me ? Things are tight, I don't know how I will have enough to change my oil or to buy a new set of tires, to pay my cell bill or to do what I need to do..
And you know what ?
I am not worried.
It will come and I will be taken care of.
I am loved .. and

so

are

you .

Finding your place

I think that being peaceful is so very important.
If you can't find joy and peace in the little things what is the point?

Find your place of joy,

Find the little things that make you smile..

A windy day,

A wispy cloud,

Splashing through a puddle,

Seeing a plastic bag get caught up in a wind draft from my car and whirl over into the next lane,

Seeing a dove,

These are all things that were today.

They all made me really happy.

Why ?

Because it was peace in the little things.

Psalm 46:10 Be Still and KNOW that I AM GOD..

I was still today .. and I knew...

Joy,

Peace,

Comfort,

Contentment.

Dreams

It is hard to let a dream go.
I know this.

But when you let a little bird out of it's cage, it has a chance to grow in ways that it never would..
IF
you had kept it in that cage.
Your dreams can grow in ways you cannot imagine,
IF
you let them go.
As soon as you let go, the better chance that you will get exactly what you want.
You may have to wait longer,
BUT
in the end..
it is
ALWAYS
worth
the
wait.

I let a dream go tonight.

Fly High.

Letting Go.

Today,
A very dear friend said she would be leaving.

It will be several weeks, but it is a question of how to deal with this pain that we feel in saying goodbye.

Simply, we need to realize that these people in our lives,
whom we have been blessed to have their spark flash ours,
for just a instant,
no matter how brief,
were never ours to begin with.

They have their own paths, their own trails and joys that swirl around them.
And we need to feel blessed and thank God, that we had them at all.

I am learning this along with everyone else..

Fly High.
