No cards this morning. But a picture. As I walk back and forth to the barn each morning I sometime get lost in thought. I know I probably miss a lot of things by doing that. But as I came back this morning I was thinking about the studies that I have been doing and how I have been working out some anger issues. I realized that a lot of the deep seated anger is gone, replaced by unfounded frustration. Realizing that just "being" is enough sometimes. We don't have to move and shake to receive gifts of Spirit. I looked down and saw the stone on the left. It was sitting up on it's tip. I thought what a nice stone, but kept on walking. It was as if it shouted "Hey, take another look!". So I went back and picked it up and it felt like a "gift". I continued on thinking that was nice, when the stone on the right shouted I mean shouted "Me too!". It is square and kind of crusty (like Jim) the other is round and plump (like me). So they joined another stone I had found in the road a while back. It may be hard to see but it is heart shaped. They join the Earth Healing wand and the Group of Nine. Together perhaps we will heal the Earth. But what gifts! Slowly transforming my anger to healing actions.

The earth has so much love to share when we open our eyes to it. I like your three stones!
ReplyDeleteThere is a quote in the Dhammapada (a Buddhist text) that states, "Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule." I try to remember this when I have anger; I know that as long as I hang on to my "story," it just keeps fueling the fire. It's hard to let go of those memories sometimes though...
So much to learn from the Stone Nation.
ReplyDeleteI found this song online, and immediately thought of you, dear friend:
ReplyDeleteGREAT WILLOW
Shanoo hay yah shanoo hay yah
And we will learn to live again,
And we will learn to love again,
Great willow, great willow.
She bends and turns,
She twists and rolls;
The wind will never break her,
She does not break.
And she will learn to live again,
And she will learn to love again,
Great willow, great willow.
~ Lesley Crossingham
