There’s a beautiful diversity on this planet. The way we all wake up and make our way back Home. So many different perspectives and views. I need patience to tolerate those that believe they’re right and everyone else is wrong. I’m getting better at it. At allowing and forgiving those who Judge others for ‘their journey.’ I certainly believe they, you, we have our own Journey Home and how we get there is a beautiful path of discovery. As a former bullied, depressed, suicidal gay kid, I’m so grateful for all of those who forced me to go within and find the Light. Who followed me around and mocked me into my own Inner self. Whose actions catapulted me at 12 into an involuntary Journey into the midst of Hell and delicious discovery of my own Bright light. My own relationship with The Divine. I guess without these bullies’ ‘in-difference’ towards me I would never have the Peace & Joy that I have now or be with those in my life that now so passionately are in love with living in the Light. So grateful today. No matter how different you are from others, remember that you have a choice and you have a choice to be the Light or be the Hell for those around you. Give peace. Forgive. Bless those that curse you and realize that you are only WHO YOU ARE because Grace has chosen to be with you. And no matter how RIGHT you think YOU are or I think I AM, there is only Journey and the way Home travels us many many places. If you deny those who are heading Home their process, you potentially interrupt with their memory of who they really are and interfere with their finding the road to the Presence within. The Stillness. I still have the shadow of thinking many times that “I’m the one who’s right.” This is what I was taught. What my religious upbringing was like. “I know the way, there’s only one and I’m the one who’s found it!” It’s such a beautiful and devastating gift. To release that idea, that Shadow and realize that each one, each relationship through the heart, with the Divine, is an individual process and each one has a karmic directive for their own Journey while on this planet to find THEIR OWN WAY home. Bless those around us who support us in that process. And for those that don’t want us to Wake Up except with THEIR eyes, bless them too. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Bless You, Paul
