| The Mystery within... |
This past week I knew communication from a deep level. The awareness came to me through a soft,
kind voice that sounded as if the Mystery within her was speaking directly to
me. It came from a place where
Compassion resides and Kindness rules.
When I walked out into my garage to check on the status of the remaining
CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) boxes to be picked up, ending this season’s
deliveries, a subscriber was there.
She thanked me for being a pick-up site host and said it is so
convenient for her. I told her I
was glad this season is ending.
She wasn’t in a hurry and drew me out to say more. I felt safe in sharing a bit of pick-up
frustrations with her. Then the
Mystery within her said quietly, “Whenever you deal with people there are
always problems.” From my deepest self
I heard her helpful words.
Gratefully and humbly I said, “You are right. Thank you for reminding me of that.”
My garage encounter reminded me of an opening poem I read
some thirty years ago in Jennifer James’ book, “Success is the Quality of your Journey.” The poem was written by
the famous Anonymous:
New Year’s
Resolutions
People are
unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good,
people may accuse you of selfish motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are
successful, you may win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today
may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and
transparency make you vulnerable.
Be honest and
transparent anyway.
What you spend years
building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People who really
want help may attack you if you help them.
Help them
anyway.
Give the world the
best you have and you may get hurt.
Give the world your
best anyway.
The world is full of
conflict.
Chose peace of mind
anyway.
So it is decision time again for me. Will I be a host pick-up site next
year? It could be fertile ground
for ego resolutions and training.
