So divinely is the world organized that every one of us, in our place and time, is in balance with everything else. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Sooner or later, fortune or misfortune may befall you. When you know this, you desire nothing, you grieve for nothing. Subduing the senses, you are happy. (Ashtavakra Gita 11:3)
May all the healers of the earth find their own healing. May they be fueled by passionate love for the earth. May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear. May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage. May they honor their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow. May they transform fear, rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of what they love. May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do the work. May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way. May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear to hear the earth's voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth. (From The Earth Path, by Starhawk)

ReplyDeleteYear ago I gave one of my best paintings to my daughter. She hung it in her living room. One f her guests noticed a nude as part of the tree. Shocked she emediately removed the painting. It has never seen the light of the day since. I am angry over her reaction. Should I ask for it back She has no taste for The arts She was open minded when young but now her adenty is only set as a mother. Her husbands is only centered of being a doctor and nothing else. this Chistmas I was told what to give the Children and her gift will be a check to pay for it! My sister sent me a calling card to taljk to my daughter for my Birthday I would like to play their gaame but will not as now I think about the real meaning of Christmas is be postive and have fqaith in goodness
ReplyDeleteLloyd, I think you could ask your daughter to reconsider hanging it up and if she won't to ask for it back. Perhaps she should know it's one of your best and that it was a gift from the heart that she put away in shame. It would be sad, though, to lose out on a relationship with your family; your daughter may some day grow to realize she hurt you, she missed the point of your work, and that relationships are more important than stuff. The best and quickest way to learn that is if you are around. That's if you can.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
