Glad you find inspiration here. Vick...Thanks, Rose! Glad you find inspiration here. <BR/><BR/>Vicki, about stories we tell our children: someone told me of a Native American tribe that believed so strongly in proper guidance of children that it appointed community members whose sole job was to help the children develop their innate gifts. <BR/><BR/>At our best, of course, we do this as parents. But how often do we make the commitment to allow ourselves to see our own gifts? I've spent a lot of my life fighting against my true nature. So who is going to guide us into our own realization of our nature? <BR/><BR/>My yoga teacher talks about the benevolent witness that arises during meditation. This is the intelligence that is watching your thoughts, observing your emotional tidal waves as you sit on the mat with your eyes closed. Sometimes I think that benevolent witness is the only one who leads me to my own true self. <BR/><BR/>But I digress. I hope I raise my kids with an awareness, as you say, Vicki, of a different tape to play. I get caught in the conundrum of what tape they should be playing, you know, even if it's a "positive" one! Whatever it is, I just want it to be true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27478786.post-1149469505057685922006-06-04T18:05:00.000-07:002006-06-04T18:05:00.000-07:00Susie, I love your blog, it is so inspirational!
