The following thoughts were shared by a friend of mine on the question of what it is like to ‘be’ older and wiser. I think they express something we can all learn from if we haven’t already.
- Gentleness, calm, quiet inside …
- Infinite space to allow people to Be…
- Grace to see what is moving and what isn’t all around me … To acknowledge what I’ve sensed and seen in people…And to let it be without trying to ‘make’ certain results happen…or certain actions/reactions occur…
- A sense that letting go is OK … That releasing what is in my life now will allow other things, other people, other opportunities to appear …
- Knowledge that being afraid of ‘having nothing’ appear is just old fear … And that since all I have to offer is love, if there are no takers, then it is time for me to leave and experience another life, another existence elsewhere.
- An inner knowing that what I offer (love) is needed everywhere…and that this year has nothing to do with what I could buy and everything to do with who I am being for others.
