I am Peace

It has been ages since I wrote last. As I sit here thinking about the reasons why, my mind wanders through all that has occurred in the past months, so much that it seems like a tornado has run its course through my brain, leaving in its wake bits and pieces that I must sort through, picking up what is important to keep, and throwing away the rest of it. 

Sometimes in our lives we enter a place of silence. A place where no matter what is going on in the world we see and experience in these bodies that our spirit inhabits, we are at a still point in the dance of life. Things happen around us and we remain still, observing the occurrences with eyes of peace, allowing everything to fall in its place, without us having to do anything. 

This still point is where I have resided these past months. No journaling has occurred. No need to record the events that continue to shape my life here on earth. I have been in a place where nothing on the outside truly matters, only that which is transpiring within my mind, within my soul, within my true self is important. Everything else has just fallen away to a place I no longer inhabit. In this process of being at the still point, I look around and see all the people who are in my life at this precise moment in time, and I have realized that my 'story' is indeed a tool which can be used to encourage others to also strive for peace and contentment, joy and gratitude for all that happens to them in the journey of their lives. 

So, my last words in this blog, where I spoke about 'story', have now come out into the Light, and I find that there is indeed a place for my 'story' to be shared. As I approach the end of another year, and the beginning of a new one, I am making space for my 'story' to unfold in the new year. As I write those words, fear rises up within me...can I really tell my story here for others to read? I feel pretty safe in that my blog does not have many followers and those who do happen to find themselves reading these pages...I will trust that Creator has brought them to these words for a purpose. 

If you have happened upon these pages, know that you have been drawn here by Spirit for a reason...it is up to you find out why. I watched the movie 'The Last Airbender' this week and gleaned a few words of wisdom from it. We each have come here for a reason...it is up to you to find out why. As I watched the movie, I began thinking about a time 20 years ago when a friend of mine asked me the question, "Do you think that you are special? That God gives you messages, and only speaks to you?" I tried to explain that it was (and still is) my belief that we are each special, unique and all have the ability to hear from God (no matter what name he/she is known by).

This answer did not go over very well with my friend, as she was trying to point out that I had delusions of grandeur in thinking that God could really speak to me. Back then, the words she used to make me see that I was wrong and delusional did serve to cause doubt to arise within my mind and I felt thoroughly chastised. 

Well, here it is 20 years later, and I am more convinced that we are all SPECIAL and we are all connected, not just to God, but we are connected by Spirit to one another.

Namaste '~The divine in me sees the divine in you. 

This is the highest form of acceptance and true love flowing between two people...to really 'See' them as the gift of who they are to the world. I will shout it to the mountains, to the streams, to the oceans, to the fields: YES, I DO BELIEVE I AM SPECIAL. YOU ARE SPECIAL. ALL OF US ARE SPECIAL. We each have a unique gift to share with the world, and it is up to us to find that gift of who we are and be bold enough to Be who we truly are. I am PEACE. Who are you?
