Nasty little caterpillars!

" To whom much is given, much is required. "

 

I've found these words to be so true on the spiritual path. I've been

blessed with a great deal, and in turn I have been given choices to

give back and help those who may be following behind on some level.

We never know what lesson God/Universe wants to teach or show through

us at any given moment. If we're not available, then opportunities are

missed, for us and for others.

 

Its easy to forget where we come from when we move forward, excited by

all the awesome changes that are happening within. Its easy to get

impatient with those who dwell in the dreaming past, or their created

problems. What are we giving them with our attitudes and energy?

 

I get it up close and personal with my hubby. He lives almost

completely in his mind (a scholar), and most of the time I'm seen as

an intruder on his thoughts. Its challenging for me to not get fed up

with him and boot him out. lol! I call it the ego realm, and its all

around. Its where we've come from, its real. The caterpillars are all

around us, crawling around on the earth. What do they see when they

look at us? What do they feel? What kind of butterfly are they seeing?

One that makes them yearn to be free? One that makes them glad they're

not like that?

 

I wish I had the words to describe what I see in someone's eyes when

they look at me after I've offered a kind word when they've been so

miserably nasty to me. Or the tears that fall when a drop of wisdom is

shared in a time of trial that may or may not be self created.

 

I guess what's on my heart is that our attitudes are part of the

evolution as well. The ego gets inflated with the smallest things, how

great does it grow with the great things we receive?

 

Keep an eye out! Watch it sneak in there and think its better!

Everyone is where they are, to grow. No one is better or worse.

 

I leave you with these words of Christ:

 

" He who seeks to be great in the Kingdom of God must become a servant

of all. "

 

Just some thoughts.
