Have you been amazed today? I hope so. I have.
Remember I live on an island
created by my directions.
You don't know theses directions,
but know this
"I decide what is right or wrong,
I make my decisions about my actions not
on what you think of me or what I think
you will think of or expect of me, as long
as I first approach with kindness."
So there I am on my island doing whatever I am doing
which is exactly what I am supposed to being doing at that moment.
In my bubble moving throughout the universes.
Nudging against mankind. But really
avoiding
and pretending
while smiling away.
As I have read on bumper stickers, Life Happens.
Real decision making moments. Moments that test ones
character and beliefs.
And my moment came out of no where,
this is a day by day situation that requires
all my island can muster.
A fragile, twisted step by step process of holding
true to myself and yet balancing healthy interaction
with a member of mankind.
Lets do one those swirly wavy drift
back in time scenes, as I begin to tell the tale.
20 years ago I knew this
pure,
radiant,
honest,
innocent
real
Goddess of the Universe
that glowed.
Not one I could kill like Pretty did so easily
nor did she need to be..
This one was built emotionally strong and healthy
intact and functioning full force.
As a matter of fact
so much so that I feared her
and being near her that I
had to protect here from
me and my notorious destructive behavior.
This was a remarkable person whose
humor, intelligence mixed with sparkling eyes
and smile and a laugh that stunned anyone
with ability to discern what is real and not.
She was the real deal. OK I think you got the picture.
If not just stop reading and go back to TV.
So you see.....(out of the way back machine)
Now I stumbled across the Goddess not broken
but wounded close to the edge but not at despair.
Hanging in there like that little kitty in the poster.
Here is where you have to trust me because
I can never ever explain to you how this chance meeting
affected me. Life changing moment situation.
So is this part of my spiritual path?
Is this yet another universal test of my character?
It is tricky, what is my will versus my fate?
Sometimes risking action when not knowing can make a mess.
But I could not leave her broken an wounded
anymore than could I have broken or wounded her.
So I am going to be there for her, like I was years ago.
Help her find her way back to that radiant, remarkable glow.
Someone will be hurt in the end.
I hope its me. It should be me. It will be me.
I have hurt more than I have been hurt.
I can suffer the pain of this irony
for the cost
is a small price to pay for
her to see herself the way I see her.
