-Some reflections-

"Well Being is a healthy attitude towards constructive change, in a warm supportive environment."

Change in attitude is a deeply affective and an effective choice, which leads to another opportunity to grow. Born in the womb of potential, an anomaly is that essence which I reach beyond the norm to find self-meaning and purpose. Since there is no precedent that is commonly known, documented, and established, there is great fear to take the risk associated with that anomaly.

Avoidance and denial are reactions from those who nourish a deeply ingrained fear. The self-reflective question becomes, What will become of me and my livelihood if I identify with those off the beaten track? Can I afford this risk? At what level of recognition can I safely and comfortably be involved? With what support group can I interact?

The anomaly is that little star that shines from the inner seed level, seeking a foundation from which to safely grow and prosper. It also seeks mentors and listeners who will guide the development process until roots are established, and the plant is able to grow alone finding meaningful nourishment. Eventually, there will be a harvest that produces new seeds to be nourished.

The four winds carry their song and the seeds of these anomalies. Hopefully a few trendsetters will listen and respond, creating a soulful melody to be played into the future's uncertainty. When this inner light is seen as part of the Great Creator's Plan, it is then that new hope is born. We are in a period of awesome transition.

Forgiveness, as a selfish act,
Cleans out our inner wrath.

Admits we all make our mistakes
developed in a forgotten past.

We forgive the person, not the act
which we can learn to change.
We forgive the woeful, little known fact
that we humans share a limited range.

 We honor death when we are gone,
We are beginning to honor life.

So we can see how we can change
before we face end's strife?

Look down inside, look up above.
The territory is so vast.
We're boundaries off what we can see
and hope that forgiveness lasts.
