I wrote this blog when I was trying to make sense of a significant change in my life. Hmmm.<BR/><BR/>As always, your comments give me food for thought.

The approach helped me to handle change and rough times very well but left much to be desired. <BR/><BR/>Granted, there could have been some loopholes in my understanding of the process. However, in my drifting thoughts about the human experience, I always conclude that there is something about living and human life that spirit desired for us to have manifested in these forms. For all the flaws, we as humans have, we are an experience, in time and place for a reason. <BR/><BR/>While I try my best to remember that I have access to all that is, for I am what it is - I can't say that I would trade the tears I cried this afternoon for the lack of feeling what provoked them. For me, one of the most beautiful things in life is remembering the beginning of each story. Rembering when I joyfully desired an experience and allowing myself to feel the fullness of its presence.<BR/><BR/>Much LOVE, RESPECT, and ADMIRATION!<BR/><BR/>jlThe Griot's Work Documentaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17760598724069837230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527683396102807184.post-13014332361026047152008-01-22T15:50:00.000-05:002008-01-22T15:50:00.000-05:00ka:"Stretching myself was stressing myself."

"Stretching" myself was "stressing myself" and I had to force myself to stop. Many of the things I imagined would BE, especially the so-called "bad" things, never materialized. I was wasting precious time and energy and making my spirit sick. I spend my time now, counting my blessings and leaving my spirit open to all of the glorious possibilities and miracles that life has in store for me,--even the so-called "bad." These "bad" things, these challenges, have made me bigger, better, stronger!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
