Projections As Thieves

 

"Sometimes I need 

only to stand

wherever I am

to be blessed."

Mary Oliver

Emotional static increases disrupting harmony and peace. As we move forward to our waiting reality, it is vital to let go of negative family history, business of deadlines, and the busyness of neighborhood activities.

Rather than imaging static, we can decorate our hearts with the glow of candles, a few shimmering lights, and special moments for heightened inspiration.  As we allow love and light to flow through us out into the world, our spirits are lifted.

When we draw negative exchanges from the past, allowing them to distort the present, we rob our lovely selves of blessings before us. While we let go of pain from the past, our beating heart pumps radiant light into all empty spaces.  The thievery no longer robs us of the loving life we are meant to live. 

Consistently Aware

"Becoming keenly and consistently aware of what's good, true

and beautiful demands a discipline:  we must open our eyes,

minds, and hearts, and keep them open."

Mary Oliver

Perception is altered by our eye sight.  When we look through a child's eye, we may perceive a playful attitude.  If we study with an educated eye, we cling to the facts and not assumptions.  With a creative eye, we may encounter diverse experiences like looking through a kaleidoscope.

It is important to remember what is true today, but also realize, it may not be the truth of tomorrow.  Life is constantly changing and altering both facts and fiction.  The world is not flat, man can walk on the moon, and hearts can be transplanted.

If we perpetually prop our eyes open, we will be a part of change, but if continuously close our eyes, we will not have a smooth transition.  We are not who we were yesterday, and it is pretty doubtful we will be entirely the same tomorrow.  So bend or stretch, twist or curl, and continue moving or else be stuck in whatever is no longer true.
