Bitterness...

Posted on Nov 9th, 2009 by ingebrita : seeker ingebrita
A little free spirit found herself caught in a net of responsibility and obligations, sinking ever deeper in a sea of frustration and resentment.  She did not want this to be the end of her, a bitter old lady.

Even the bitter old lady in you needs Love..so I send her some right now :-)

Responsibility and obligation are unpleasant guests at the table, that's fer sure! They just is what they is…and they isn't YOU. Pour them some sweet tea. They'll be gone in no time.

I don't know why these glitches happen.  I too am trying to get rid of hurt, anger and “things I would like to say”. 

I am thinking right now while writing: “That which I resist, persists.”  To me that means, I should stop “trying to get rid of hurt and anger.”  Instead think of something else positive and creative that gives me pleasure. 

One time while complaining to a friend that it seems I am always running, running, running. 

Dear friend asked:  “Who is holding the whip?”

Just some ideas that help me to recover my serenity. 

Namaste!

How about doing some Journaling in our New Room?  “Life at the end of the Rainbow.”

Thank you so much, Small Wisdom, for the love and wisdom you sent, and welcome to Gaia!  Your encouraging words helped a lot.  I do need to find a better way of looking at these heavy responsibilities because I fear they won't be gone any time soon.

Oh dear, Joyous, I do know what you mean about running and running!  I call it running on empty, and like a car I have no idea how many more miles I can travel before I burn up what little is left of my fuel.   If only I had time enough to stop at a gas station and fill her up! 

(Actually that's kind of what I'm doing now – let the mold continue its march up the shower curtain – I need to chat with my Gaia family!) 

You and I don't need anyone to hold a whip to us, we do a good enough job of whipping ourselves I fear!   I'll try and take a look at the new room when I'm done catching up with my emails!  Thanks for cheering me up!

Oh my sweet Lili, thank you so very much for all your delightful hugs - they mean so much to me!  I feel your presence in my life more often than you may know.  A week or two ago (I've lost all sense of time…) I was coming home, walking down the sidewalk when a dragonfly flew right to me and then landed on the stones next to the sidewalk.  Since he was so out of season I felt he must have been carrying a message from your heart to mine - and now I wish I had been able to tell you about it before this, but those obligations keep distracting me with their urgency…  I'm hugging you back and sending you my love always…
