Wabi Sabi - Art, Gentleness, and Love

Quote:

Our Souls find gentle ways to communicate with us through feelings, intuition, dreams and symbols, and it is up to us to pay attention and catch the messages when they come.

Communicating from the place of acceptance of our own flaws and quirks allows us to see the flaws and quirks in others. But when we can see our own and love our own unique matrix only then can we learn to accept and love others and see them as divinely perfect regardless of appearances or prejudices. Today see if you can catch the beauty and brilliance of the unusual. Look for the odd and the thing that does not fit in. That is where the real beauty lies. None of us are livestock breed for certain qualities and characteristics. We are born of love, chaos, duty, intensity, power, opportunity, and passion. We are not designed to look or act alike. We are designed to be a flawed compilation of genes. Designed to explore the limitless possibilities of human creative expression, intelligence, physical strength, and discernment. I remember being a child in Texas and our house was along a creek. In the summer the fireflies came out in abundance. We would spend hours catching them in mayonnaise jars and looking at them in the darkness. It was magic. They were mesmerizing. Then you began to notice that there were many green ones, fewer blue ones, yellow ones, orange ones, and red ones. But the hardest to find were the purple ones. We began separating them and putting the different colors together. Just to make sure we knew for sure and yes, over and over again there were only a few of those purple (special) ones.

It is the differences that make us unique. It is the oddity that becomes striking in nature. We always are attracted to the thing that is hard to find or acquire. So why would you hide your unique quality from the world? Why would you try to look like another or sound like another? Many years ago, an agent in Hollywood, wanted to (and I quote), “Make me into another Marianne Williamson”. I was horrified! And I adore Marianne Williamson. She is a brilliant woman and a huge gift to the planet. But I knew that I wanted to be me. I did not want to be a copy of someone else. My entire being screamed at this agent that I could only be what I was intended to be. I would not waste my life trying to be someone or something else. That would be a waste of a precious gift that is this life. Do not waste this life. Do not waste this unique gift that is your special reflection of the divine. Allow it out, cultivate it, let it grow, and discover how much it has to show you. Let that voice out that has something different to say. You are precious. Breathe that in and shine boldly and brightly.
