In the mist of it all

I shine

In the space of existence

I float

I swim

I tred

I become

I move though time

As my own light

I move with grace

I stumble

I fail

I make wrong turns

But each step I take

Is the right one

The journey is even more

If not

Just as

Important as the unknown destination

.

.

A beam of being slides through the universe

What would you call such a happenstance?

I’ve been thinking about being a mom lately

I don’t know why but I’ve been thinking about my self as a mother.

I always have.

Since I was a baby

I assumed I was everyone’s mom

I would baby kids my age

As I grew I continued to care for kids my age,

younger,

And then older.

I always dreamed about the hobbies they’d have,

The summer vacations,

I wanted a happy family

I wanted to raise kids to be free to express themselves

Free enough to come to me with anything

Free enough to explore their own lives

And free enough to share their greatness with the world

I’ve always done good hoping to lead by example

And I wanted to raise children who would do the same

I wanted boys who knew how to act and treat women

And girls who would love themselves and help others find that love inside as well

I wanted them to be beautifully contagious

I wanted to raise boys first who knew the meaning of brotherhood

And family

To be strong and selfless

I wanted girls who knew how to be little sisters.

Following under their big brothers footsteps enough to know how to be tough and yet step up to be their own leaders.

I’ve been thinkning about being pregnant

And what it would be like to carry a creation to its grand entrance into This life

I’ve been watching my husband

I watch him interact with babies and his nieces and nephews

And it puts me at peace

I watch him talk to them

Play with them

Teach them the meaning of words

I watch him dance like a dad and I know well be fine

He’s not yet ready to be someone’s husband

As I’m not yet ready to be a wife

But I know that together well be okay

I see him yearning to set an example as a father

And I know well be okay

I see myself watching children

Just trying to figure out what they need and how to make sure they know they’re loved

And I know my children will be alright

I’m not ready for diapers and rashes

But I know past that

Are futures

Dreams

Plans

And it’ll be my job to support them

That I’m excited for

9 Rules for being Human

When you were born, you didn’t come with an owner’s manual. Here are some guidelines make life easier.

“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.”

(Helen Keller)

1. You will receive a body – Where you love it or hate it, It’s yours for life.

2. You will learn lessons – Life is a constant learning experience, in which every day provides opportunities for you to learn more.

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons – Your development towards wisdom is a process of experimentation, trial and error. Compassion is the remedy for harsh judgement of ourselves and others. Forgiveness is not only divine, it’s also ‘the act of erasing an emotional debt’.

4. A lesson is repeated until it is learned – Lessons repeat until learned. What manifest as problems and challenges, irritations and frustrations are more lessons. They will repeat until you see them as such and learn from them. Your own awareness and your ability to change are requisites of executing this rule. To blame anyone or anything else for your misfortunes is an escape and a denial; you yourself are responsible for you, and what happens to you.

5. Learning lessons does not end – While you are alive there are always lessons to be learned. Surrender to the ‘rhythm of life’, don’t struggle against it. Be humble enough to always acknowledge your own weaknesses, and be flexible enough to adapt from what you may be accustomed to.

7. Others are merely mirrors of you – You love or hate something about another person according to what love or hate about yourself. Be tolerant; accept others as they are, and strive for clarity of self-awareness; strive to truly understand and have an objective perception of your own self, your thoughts and feelings.

8. What you make of your life is up to you – You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. Take responsibility for yourself. Learn to let go when you cannot change things. Don’t get angry about things.

9. The answers lie inside you – Trust your instincts and your innermost feelings, whether you hear them as a little voice or a flash of inspiration.

Lastly you will forget all this at birth as we are all born with all of these capabilities. Our early experiences lead us into a physical world, away from our spiritual selves, so that we become doubtful, cynical and lacking belief and confidence. The ten Rules are not commandments, they are universal truths that apply to us all. When you lose your way, call upon them. Have faith in the strength of your spirit.

Adaptations of this list have been widely-circulated online as the 9 Rules for Being Human (Handed Down from Ancient Sanskrit) however the original source is actually Chérie Carter-Scott, a corporate trainer and consultant, who composed the list which she named “The Ten Rules for Being Human” for or one of her workshops several years ago.

9 Rules For Being Human - According To Ancient Sanskrit

When you were born, you didn’t come with an owner’s manual. Here are some guidelines make life easier. “Life is a succession

Sometimes I stare into the mirror trying to see if I can see my soul . Sometime I see something scary. Sometimes I see me . Sometimes I just notice my eyes, and the shadows of the eyelashes.i notice my nose and all the pores that are open and the ones that are clogged. I notice a lot about me , but I don’t always see me. Sometimes I don’t trust mirrors.sometimes I think they’re lying to me. Sometimes I want them to tell me the truth. I want them to show me me. But it’s hard to see what I see and accept what I see. Because what am I really looking at? I was looking for me but did I see me ? Or did I see my eyes. Or did I see my soul? What am I ? Who am ? What do I see? What does everyone else see?
