There is such a voice within me that DOESN’T WANT TO DO ANYTHING! Maybe it is my warrior voice that wants to escape routine, run from intimacy and leave behind all commitments. Or better yet, don’t MAKE commitments and then no one will expect anything from you. Yeah!
Maybe it comes from being the oldest of a big family, expected to help out, babysit and clean.
It is in social engagement that much personal emotional wealth blossoms. But sometimes I would much rather spend time with a tree or two. They are eloquent, clear and deep.
Changing habits brings resistance. Rebellion dogs every step, barking and snarling just on principle of DON’T LIKE CHANGE! Maybe that comes from a youth where changes were markers of sadness and awkward times.
Centering in the now, I claim and honor my rebel inspiration. I can be different, new and eccentric with kindness and clarity. I can be different and social. I can love myself just as I am and allow others to be themselves without demands.
And I can do that, because I am at one with the One that revolutionized the universe with us all.
