I lost the blinders to the world around me.  I was not seeing, and now I am.  And I am ever so thankful to see.

What was the last thing you wondered about?

I was just wondering how many people in this world go through their every days without truly seeing.  I know many folks who go through the motions of their days, working, eating, sleeping.  Will they ever be able to see themselves or the world around them as well as the many other gifts available?  I suppose it is not for me to question them, but appreciate that I have been able to finally see.  I would like to be a someone that can help a few of them open their eyes.

I am climbing a steep hill, the trail has many rocks and tree roots to trip me up.  I have to pause to catch my breath, and when I do, oh the view is incredible.  The sun is shining on the lake beyond the trees.  I smell the leaves, the moss, the plants, the earth. I hear the birds chirping, the squirrels playing... And I keep going, climbing, searching, pondering, learning, growing..... feeling the freedom becoming grander with each step......

Simply feeling the joy and wonderment.  I know when something is worthwhile, because I will feel very emotional with deep gratitude of the experience.

How do you comfort those who are sad?

Posted on Nov 13th, 2008 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 13, 2008:

I always let them know that I am around for them, if they need to talk or even just sit in quiet together.  I remind them that they are in my thoughts and I am there
for comfort.  My friend called me the other day, I knew he was going through some challenging times.  He just wanted to know that a friend was there.  I was there and thankful to be.

What is your favorite theory?

I am a psychology student and seem to be following the humanistic theory where it is believed that people are basically good from the very start. It is a theory I have always personally believed in anyway, we are all good. It is how life comes along to us, and how we choose to take in life that changes us, but underneath the changes, we are love, we are good.

What predictions have come true in your life?

I had a dream once that I was on a lake in a boat and my daughter was swimming in the water.  I watched some giant monster looking fish rise up out of the water and eat her and I was so so sad.  Not long afterwards, her dad and I went through a divorce and she was taken from me for a year because her dad wanted custody.  We ended up in a huge custody battle and she came home to me.  I don't know if the monster was her dad or my inner fears.

This question reminds me of a children's book called Miss Rumphius.  Her grandfather told her to create beauty for everyone, even if it is in the smallest way.  She planted lupines in her town and every season the wind carried the seeds to plant more until the entire country was covered in lupines, long after her death.  For me, my joy comes in simple kindness to others.  It is a catching thing.

I seem to be waiting for that moment....to feel the gentle arms around me....and a faint but discernable voice telling me that I am perfect the way I am.... and that I will finally understand everything......and my mission in life will become ever so clear.  I will be able to say, "what was all the fuss about?"

I found a part of myself that was hiding and needed to be exposed.  What a sense of freedom to feel a trueness become awakened.  I am grateful for those who have helped me find many things about myself along this journey.  One of them is my young daughter......

What's your favorite form of creative expression?

I love to sing to all kinds  of music.  Every now and then a poem likes to pop out of me.  I think my most creative expression is in helping others, in whatever capacity is needed.  I enjoy being a part of anything that brings joy and a sense of clean and light.  I recently had a friend who wanted to sell his motorcycle.  He had to leave town but I knew he wanted to get this Harley cleaned. So I did for him as a surprise and I found it to be so fun, cleaning the dirt away to reveal the shine and beauty.  It was somewhat therapeutic for myself.

What was the last work of art you remember seeing?

Masks
I was just reading my psychology textbook, and in it was a painting by Emil Nolde called Still Life With Masks.  My subject is abnormal psychology, and the painting embodies the uniqueness in all of us, including our different states of mind, some being "abnormal."  I like to think outside the psychology box and say that whether we are considered abnormal or not, we all have a purpose here.  For some it may be to add the contrast needed, the dark to see the light.

Do you give yourself enough time?

Posted on Nov 1st, 2008 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 28, 2008:

I am never sure what is enough time.  I try to carve out times for myself, and then I struggle with that guilt thing of thinking I should be doing this or that.  But when I go out for my nature walks, I am in so much joy and grateful that I listened to myself to take that time.  I then want much more of it!

I want to believe in myself, therefore I want to believe in God.   
God is a part of the whole, as am I.

What keeps you peaceful?

Posted on Nov 9th, 2008 by Stef : sweet emotion.... Stef
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 09, 2008:

I have a very dear friend who spent this entire last year teaching me how to breathe.  and not just breathe to live, but breathe to feel it throughout my body and soul.  When times get tough, I have learned to take a moment and take those breaths.  I feel
myself calm and become at peace with everything.  I had been suffering from anxiety prior to these lessons and now it is no more.  How grateful I am to this friend.  Breathing is so much more than just putting air in our lungs.  It sustains our every moment, our essence, the every part of our self.

I seem to always be reading more than one book.  In my study area, I have Remembering Your Soul Purpose by Karen Bishop.  In my car, (because there are those moments of waiting) I have Money and the law of Attraction by Jerry and Esther Hicks.  In my bedroom, I am reading The Eagle and the Rose by Rosemary Altea.  And one other book is Returning to Oneness by L. Temple Thurston.  Books are my life.
