Come Back, Come Back, All Is Forgiven

You are like the first unaware ripple, caused from the anonymous hand dropping a pebble in the pool of human consciousness.

Screaming forth from the beginning, dancing into a seemingly new world, unaware of interference or other plans.

You experience your first collisions with other ripples. You perceive some of these outcomes as positive and some not. Do you even know who you are yet?

Onward you continue somehow, in someway; charging forth. Conscious sometimes and unconscious others.

Sometime, someday you wonder at your 'progress' and conceive another way. Perhaps dim at first but causing that thirst... the one that just doesn't go away.

You search and you seek, no where do you find that drink of knowledge or taste of experience that satisfies in all ways and scratches that itch.

Yet as you roll in this pond and clash, collide and hug other ripples you cannot help but come to realize what you are.

Successfully seeing yourself as that, opens that door a little more; to let in the sense that all those accidents and things that derailed your plans, were perhaps pieces of a plan with a larger design.

As all these things gel and wash over your knowingness, you consider some routes that were not contemplated before.

If you are a ripple and running always forward in the pond, what if you go backwards to where you begun?

What if there is something to learn from a time being young, when rules were for adults and mud pies were fun?

Perhaps wisdom has a sense of humour when it chooses to hide, in the child inside? And yet here you run, run, run with that seemingly ever changing tide.

Rise above the waves, see where you've been, give your-self credit and play with your child within.

For Things To Change, You Have To Change

Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves, without any insistence that they satisfy you.
~ Wayne Dyer

Welcome back. It's been some time since I've visited but now I am here. My introspection and self-growth of the last while has been like an in-breath, feeding my spiritual self. Now its time for an out-breath, starting slowly and keeping it that way for a time, feeding life into outpourings here and energy into my other spiritual projects.

There have been many many changes for me, within me and through me in the last while and now is the time to pursue balance for the longer term; not just to benefit myself but also you and those that follow.

Recently I was re-minded of this quote I love - "For things to change, you have to change". There are few that I know of that incorporate or carry this philosophy within themselves constantly, without effort. My teacher/guru is one such.

Personally I am able to hold this intention for long periods of time and sometimes short periods of time or not at all, until of course I am re-minded or choose to be.

We are all at very intimately different personal spaces within our individual journeys toward the same destination, which are incomparable with others. In fact, to compare your personal opinion of your spiritual growth, enlightenment and awareness with any other persons, can be quite defeatist depending on your state. Your only comparison can be with yourself. That is of course, if you feel such is necessary, which it is not.

You may have an opinion on this quote or on your ability to follow it, but this is one of those Morpheus phenomena, meaning whether you believe it or not does not change the practical truth within it.

The essence of me raising it up for you to consider, is to simply re-mind you also that wherever you are, whoever you are, and whatever you are being that "For things to change, you have to change".

Re-membrance and celebration of who you are and who you are being will bring you back to the light, one way or another. We are all in it together.

Thank you for coming back.


Go in peace,
Mikel
