Three Kisses

"Three Kisses" by Dar Freeland

True Friends love you when they see you hurting. They kiss you when you have a tear in your eye. They keep you warm with a blanket. They say "I love you" over and over until you GET it. They stand as the light while your vision is blocked by your own shadow.

If God gave us everything, then everything we need is here. It is our opportunity and choice to reach out and use what was given. We lack nothing. It is our purpose, to hand to others what we now know.

True Friends. Simple love. No strings.

Thank you Friends.

Empty Nest

"Meta" by Dar Freeland

RE-cognition.

Identify my beliefs about a thing, identify its function and value in my life. What is driving my feelings and behavior? Check.

Ac-KNOW-ledge.

Admit that some negativity or story is there, and is running me. Do I feel out of control? I must be close to the truth. Check.

ACCEPTance.

Admit that it has been here, it served its purpose. Allow the truth to "be". There is no proving, no conflict. Just "now". Check.

RELEASE.

Stop grasping, stop holding onto illusions, throw old beliefs into the air and watch them float away. Surrender all to healing, with wisdom, open heart and grace. Check.

There is nothing to fear about the "empty nest" syndrome devoid of all my dramas and stories that lived in my head. The silence is bliss. It only makes more room for love, light, new synapses, inspiration, creativity, quantum healing, fun and fierce ideas for making more joy. How bad is that really?
