Morning' Coffee Mongers..lol I hope you are all well and well adjusted I'm lovin' this cool weather and the turning of the leaves. I do wish they would last a bit longer tho' the seasons change so fast around here and it's kinda back and forth here of late. I have been reading, lurking I just have not been in a headspace that I could relate because of it's heart wrenching nature. Did not want to unload it and be a wet blanket. So, I kept it inside and waited for it to pass, as it has for the time being. I was caught up in an emotional roller coaster ride from hell. I am fortunate to have someone as terrific as my hubilicious, ever steady with his lovin' heart. I hear myself telling ones that all things pass and as I recall the words I know that this is true and I have experienced it and lived through it, my lesson learned. I felt that instead of feeding the bad wolf that was trying to devour, I fed the good wolf and things changed in a matter of hours. I went about it in a negative way before, negative begets negative, things couldn't have gotten better through negativity. Even tho' I had to be the bigger person, it is not admitting defeat it is trying to find a solution that works. A compromise if you will. I am flexible, I am not made of stone. I have found that when I dig deep inside myself I can always find a solution, the answer I seek. It is so apparent to me that all of the answers come from within. All one has to do is be still and listen for the answers. They usually appear silently and you suddenly realize your prayer was answered. Maybe not in the way you expected it to occur or as spectacular but occur it did. I think when it does not happen in a miraculous way, there is still work to be done but the immediate need was fulfilled. Perhaps to carry you through until more wisdom is channeled through. It's hard to get a clear picture when it's all negative and static ridden. To have a breakthrough is motivating and gives one energy and hope that the situation will correct itself and there is peace for all concerned. My moral to this story is, never grab a tiger by the tail. Do not let your emotions get the better of you. You are in control of you only and cannot control others. I learned my best bet was to kill it with love, of course love came shining through. It blinded the darkness and a true light came in and shone it's brilliance. With that mountain conquered, I can get over the next one or the current one I should say. I pray, we all find balance in ourselves and there-by create balance in the universe. Bright Blessings sh
I find your words very inspiring sh,especially about trying to feed the "good wolf",as I am traversing some strange emotional landscapes myself.You're right,there is always a solution,even if it isn't the one you thought you were looking for.
'May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep Despite the wolves outside your door In time you will see them all as harmless And their idle threats easy to ignore And if ever fate should choose to smite you Stand your ground, never walk away Please don't ever let the world defeat you Don't get buried in its decay The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you Let go of your fragile consciousness' A few verses from a song I like (Lullaby by Assemblage 23).. I always thought that the wolves represented the negative energy that yourself and others around you may carry. In a way it can make us very fragile at the time, when we see a challenge or mountain ahead that needs to be conquered it can make us feel small, even weak, but once we have come out the otherside we are stronger than before!
Morning ranger! :coffee: Babyp has done some paintings today that I think would look nice put up in one of the many hallways in the house. Don't worry, they are nuetral blues, greens, reds and yellows, will go nicely in any colour room
