Energy Share for Sunday
October, 15, 2006

Be Truthful Now,
see yourself as you plainly are,
you've got a hidden wound,
and this is no time for posing.

When
inward tenderness
finds that secret hurt,
the pain itself will crack the rock
and, ah! Let the soul emerge.

Think of a swallow in a cage,
That cage hung in a forest,
and all around songbirds
singing sweet wild
hymns of freedom. That
bird is me, and that
bird is ready to fly.

Rumi

This past week I spent some time pondering the state of relations between people, on both a personal and global sense. I recalled the joyful encounters in Arizona with relatives and making new friends with other islanders. Despite any regional or political differences among us, we still gathered together in a spirit of togetherness and camaraderie. The experience was most memorable and we've all chosen to continue our connections for the future.

It also helped me to remember the necessity for accepting our differences and forgiving others for their human flaws, while ecstatically celebrating the uniqueness and divinity within each of us. I celebrate with you everyday our joyful union in this energy share and the ways in which we share our human experiences.

So, in this light, I've posted a couple of messages by Michael Green as inspired by Jelaluddin Rumi, and one of my own about the healing power of forgiveness.

Thank you all for being a part of this energy share. I joyfully acknowledge the boost of energy from you and welcome it with open arms. I also send you a boost with LOTS of love, light, and hugs. Help yourself to the boost I send to you and enjoy it fully. Enjoy every moment and live the passionate life you intend it to be.

Namaste, (I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells),

Lydia
