Changing...

Seasons come, seasons go....some of us dread winter while others can't wait for it to begin...one wanes while the other begins...how closely nature mirrors our lives...every season bringing change, growth, wisdom and learning. I received a heartfelt apology yesterday from a budding narcissist so perhaps heartfelt does not belong in the same sentence...I guard and withhold judgement while hoping for change in her season, in her choices that will dictate the life rolling out before her...a simple fork in the road, so very simple...right or left...but oh how that very complicated that decision truly is, the outcome misery or happiness...selflessness or selfishness.

'An old Cherokee Indian chief was teaching his grandson about life.

He said, "A fight is going on inside me," he told the young boy, "a fight between two wolves.

The Dark one is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The Light Wolf is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you grandson…and inside of every other person on the face of this earth.”

The grandson ponders this for a moment and then asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee smiled and simply said, "The one you feed".'

For some of us, the decision is which one to feed while for others in our midst...the sociopaths, the psychopaths and the plain Jane narcissists, they feed the other wolf each moment of every day... fueling the fire within...

Dear treasures...it is human to err, to fall and fail...forgivable offences, slights, frustrations and annoyances...truly...however, when the choice is made each day to harm, to degrade, to demean, to sleep like babies while your heart is laying bleeding on the floor...that is not within the normal parameters for treatment let alone for the proclaimed love.

My friends, do not mistake love for usury....for abuse....

Love is kind...it upholds, what it does not do is push down, hold under in order to feel higher, smarter, better than...that is a fragile ego belittling your sensitivity to abuse, to childish behaviours...that is a false ego battling each day to build up their wispy walls of hate and delusion.

It is true dear hearts....this is just a small portion of what happens inside the home of lost ones, waiting to be found...to be rescued...to be stood for.

You are worthy of rescue dear friends...worthy of being loved every moment of each day for the rest of your lives...worthy...Kings and Queens each one...stand now in your birthright, walk now in a mantle of love, of comfort, of absolute strength....

God bless your day...richly bless your day with hope...with His Love....may you see His Hand move in your life, freeing you from the chains of fear, from the sorrow of the ages wrapped round you...
