Pain

Pain... there's that word that none of us want to experience... and yet we do. And when we do, we convince ourselves that it hurts, that we do not want it... that it must go away. But what is life if it is not a mixture of pain and pleasure? Why do we welcome the pleasure and resist the pain? Because we are convinced that the pain hurts. What if we could look at pain from a completely different angle? What if we could accept the pain that comes in our lives, embrace it, feel it, learn from it and then let it go?

I have had a lifetime full of pain. It has caused me to be less then I could be now. Yes, it has also shaped me into what I am now... but that is only because instead of seeing it as an experience here to teach me, I have resisted it. I do not want to go on resisting what is sure to come as we experience being human beings. I want to accept that life here has all kinds of happenings... some good... some bad.

When I can deal with my own pain... then I can help you deal with yours too. But not until... Effective help won't come from me until I have learned to accept my own pain and then let it go.

This is what I am learning about being human... may we continue to learn until we perfect this thing called life!

Me: My move is over... well you could call it that.... we are still searching for things in boxes... and have other things still at the other house! What energy it takes to move... we have been working 12 hour days on it for about 5 days now. But things are calming down... I am trying to quiet my spirit and have peace through it... at times I have been unable to and then look out!

:-)

I hope you have peace today... wherever you are, whatever you are going through... I hope you remember to have peace!

Namaste
