I love in depth conversations where we talk about our dark side as well as our light. It is such a rare thing to be able to be completely authentic and to be heard and to hear what another is saying from our hearts.
I am still wondering about and opening to listening from Spirit and I know that is unfolding as it should as well. I have gotten more insight on it as I go along but I know there is something more to let go of in order to fully experience it.
I’m noticing also that some of the questions that come up in class are kind of ambiguous in that they could be taken in different ways, and we are responding from those different ways. I really appreciate that our instructors are just going with whatever way we heard the questions without judgment. I have a tendency however to want to answer in the ‘right’ way and it’s becoming more and more obvious there is no ‘right’ way in this process, it’s about where we are.
I can certainly see how I need to keep letting go of the concept of having to do it ‘right’ in other areas of my life as well. There is a place for it of course, but I also know that there are times when it is more important to just be present than to do it ‘right’. My husband has been trying to teach me this for a long time in his own sweet way. He will often purposely mispronounce a word or say something he knows to be false just to get my reaction. I must admit I’m getting better though, I’m not quite as consistent as I used to be about ‘correcting’ him. He always gets such a kick out of it when I do.
I’m reminded of that great line out of the Last Samurai where the great Samurai is dying and realizes after a lifetime of searching for the perfect cherry blossom, ‘They’re all perfect’.
Namaste
