Judging a Book by its Cover May Cost you a Miracle

I made the choice to make this an amazing day, normally when I have a happening back home, I dread it; the energies are so overwhelming that I sometimes cannot bear to go, but since it was just Mom’s and Dad’s, with no need to make additional mini adventures, I knew could be above this and be the greater energy,

baby steps, it’s all about baby steps.

Home is about an hour and change away from home, so we have a lot of time to talk with each of these ventures that we go on, and on each I tend to open/discover  more and more. Now this is to someone who knows everything there is to know about me, but what I mean is, when I speak about my thoughts – the things I think about when coming back home, and what it all reminds me of, and to see the distance of where that was and where it all is. It’s like different lifetimes – different people, all together I am a different being.  I am at a point and in a relationship in life where I can be open  and because I am free to be “me”, there is no filter placed by fear of judgment, its’ always beautiful when I realize its’ happening.{ I am growing.}

 So we drive into the mountains, I love this drive because it represents something so important to me and I’m lucky enough to see it unchanged. [Little do I know that more than I’d like also remains’ unchanged.]

We get to my Dad’s, I see all the work he’s done – the man  is a miracle,{literally} and when people wonder where my “me-ness”  comes from – they need to meet my parents. Everything looks amazing and I’m happy to be there, he didn’t know I was coming, I wanted it to be a surprise – and it was. They had guests leaving as I was arriving, and they saw that I had made my dad some tortillas, and the reaction was somewhat – confusing. “I’m surprised you know how to make tortillas”. {My mom makes them, my Grandmother made them, my Dad, and my sisters make them, why wouldn’t I know how to make tortillas?} are my immediate thoughts – and yes, I can cram that many thoughts into a millisecond, and I couldn’t help but laugh a little in my head because I couldn’t understand why she was taken aback by the fact that I know how to make something as simple as tortillas. But the tone in which it was delivered was-it doesn’t matter - I smiled, wished them a beautiful day and waved them goodbye.

I sit with my dad and I have to ask, “Why was it so surprising that I know how to make tortillas?” His response, “Because you’re pretty”.  I looked over to my boyfriend – he raises his eyebrows in code to tell me “I keep telling you”.

I was “taken aback”! (lol); I couldn’t grasp the small mindedness of it! “That’s dumb.” Was all I could say.

My dad said “It is what it is”, and then went on to tell me that he and his wife went to a dinner recently with the Mayor, and when he got there everyone looked at him like “who are you and why are you here?” They were there as invited guests as my Dads wife was being honored for her work in the community. He said you could tell immediately it was about status quo, and since no one knew the man sitting next to the mayor he was immediately made an outcast. My dad said that it felt so good to be there knowing they didn’t need to take a single thing from anyone in that room to be there, and that at the end of the day he has no enemies. “People will judge you because of what you look like. Just be what you look like on the inside and you‘ll be fine.”

The unchanged that I experienced was the small mindedness of those around us, even those close to us.

The Miracle I experienced in choosing to be the greater energy was the ability to take my Dads point of view and share a different perspective.  
If you are filled with light, you will shine. Some don’t know how to take to light – so be EXTRA patient with them and whatever you are filled with will shine the brightest-let it be Love.

 ~Thank You Dad

Muddy Isn't Bad~

Truth intimidates everyone. It forces you to look beyond the ego and see what truly is. Truth becomes intimidating when we travel further and further from it.  Learning to walk, and sometimes crawl through the mud to rediscover that truth is a battle self-created. When you come to touch, if only for a moment, the truth of what {I Am} is, you are forever changed, it is here where duality is experienced and choice takes over. We will follow truth or we will follow ego. Know too, that choosing to follow truth does not eliminate ego, not immediately...that is an aspect of the journey. And choosing to follow ego simply means it will take you longer to find truth (because we are destined to) and/or it will find you in the way of Karma unexpectedly. Consciously Create Your Journey~

~El Alma del Viento

           In another life when we are both wind I will chase you around the canyons ~We will play hide and seek through the trees ~We will create the most beautiful echo ~In another life when we are both wind We will be calm and experience what we truly are ~We will run over the earths’ surface in the most gentle of ways ~We will create images with the sky's clouds ~In another life when we are both wind We will create soft wakes as the morning sun rises, and when we choose We will create waves of unimaginable proportion ~In another life when we are both wind – I will be free to love you with all of my breath ~Iloveyou~You listen to my dreams and help me paint the picture of my soul. 

Uni(Verse) Tree

Planted into the earth by root, my foundation is strong.


My curiosity sparks an escape and I soon can see the sun.


Being a part of the earth is very much engrained in my being.


Reaching for the stars is very much engrained in my soul.


I have watched, through many lifetimes, the changing of


seasons. I am a part of the beginning of time; I am a part of the end of it.


I am part of an undying force. In the inter-connectedness paradox of it all,


We are a part of the same one song, we are all a part of the tree of life~

Shadows

The first thing to come to mind when I say 'shadows', is what?

Darkness, Something Hidden, An Empty Feeling, Beautiful or Fun? ~Why?

Why would you use your thoughts as carelessly to think of shadows as

something dark as in pertaining to something not good, as opposed to that

beautiful something we carry everywhere we go - with light it appears,

it’s always attached - it’s a reflection form of you, your hands, your

fingers making shapes of things we know. How about the shadows cast by

your window shutters - the shadow print of the plant you have having in

the window- Take your thoughts to the next level - think in positive light

rather than in darkness, and see that even shadows are beautiful,

you just have to see it - and when you do pay it attention -

take it in, and share it - just like I did. {Love and Light}

A New Beginning

Jungism

Anyone who wants to know the human

psyche will learn next to nothing from experimental psychology. He would

be better advised to abandon exact science, put away his scholar's gown,

bid farewell to his study, and wander with human heart throughout

the world. There in the horrors of prisons,

lunatic asylums and hospitals, in drab suburban pubs, in brothels and

gambling-hells, in the salons of the elegant, the Stock Exchanges,

socialist meetings, churches, revivalist gatherings and ecstatic sects,

through love and hate, through the experience of passion in every form in

his own body, he would reap richer stores of knowledge than text-books a

foot thick could give him, and he will know how to doctor the sick with a

real knowledge of the human soul.

Carl Jung
