Dear Ponderings,
There has been and is and always will be change. How boring life would be without it.
As we have discussed before in the Cafe' we are reading words and do not have the benefit of seeing someone's facial or body expressions. Also in most cases we have not had the benefit of meeting or knowing each individual who posts. Even hearing the words can be of benefit rather then just reading them. Of course some great writers can make words come to great visuals for us, but I wouldn't count on it on all of the many forums we all visit and read at.
So, one lesson learned is to take what we read with a grain of salt, digest it for awhile and then respond in kind if we feel inclined.
I would think most of us on the energy work path do feel we take 2 or 3 steps forward and 1 behind many times. There is always something to learn as we go along.
Sometimes we think we have worked on some issues and have cleared or healed them and this many times is not quite true. They will keep coming back until we truly learn the lessons for ourselves.
Like for myself I am once again learning my lessons to be more patient and be more centered. Another one is to take care of myself first. To be still. I have learned that it is very easy to falter while on my path especially when so many health issues keep dancing in my way. I gave in and gave them my power. I finally asked for help when I realized I could not be my own end all. I learned it is very freeing and very helpful to ask for another's help. I have always been the one helping others. See the karma there? If one gives help one should also ask for and receive help
Life is a roller-coaster so there will always be change.
Everyone does not have to be a great thinker, just a thinker, and to think before we speak. Angry or hurtful words/opinions only put more negativity out there and it will return in kind. And as we know, love and compassion will do the same. I choose the later.
All blessings, Donna
