Waking up on this weekend morning with only four-legged family members around, I realized how totally satisfying that was. I actually liked the state of mind I was in, how I felt both physically and mentally. I was well on the way to a successful morning meditation period. Afterwards, I started planning this post, bouncing back and forth in time between a few childhood memories, many young-ish adult memories, and now. Thankfully, for several years now, I have not edged over into minor angst when trying to understand why I have been most comfortable AND productive in my life when “alone”. (Actually, that is when I feel least alone!) Yet, because of my overly-developed verbal side, I have continuously been labeled a “people person”. So, go figure.
Okay, first of all, my overly-developed intuitiveness shows me WAY TOO MUCH about other people. For most of my life. I became internally agitated by what I was picking up and allowed other folks’ stuff to tip me off center. Thankfully, joining a wonderful, give-and-take, free-for-all Bible study group that is willing to process anything and everything has gradually built up quite a bit of spiritual “muscle” with which to successfully digest of that stuff from other folks.
So, it really was no accident that last week’s query about “the group home” should prompt such a rich harvest in my Truth Garden. And yesterday’s immersion in all those folks waiting for the Homecoming Parade, whereupon I was rejoiced by portions of the natural world reflected in many of their eyes, was most encouraging. I was able to zero right in on postive, productive “stuff” from those other folks, even though there were thousands of vibes bouncing around in my brain regarding their many quirks and much pettiness.
So, solo or in group, inner peace burrows in, making itself at home, allowing me to skip along on my journey to the Truth Mountain. This mountain shelters Truth in such a nourshing manner that Truth is arrayed in only Blessing-Colors, with all the old hurtful fake truths scaled away by the bright lights of Inspiration, Wisdom, Peace.
