When your spirits need a lift, think of the virtues and talents of those around you —
one's energy,
another's modesty,
the generosity of a third —
Nothing is so inspiring or uplifting as the sight of these splendid qualities in our friends.
~ Marcus Aurelius

Existence understands only a letting-go of the pursuit…
If you are in a let-go, you can attain total satiety, contentment, benediction.

I think of him at the oddest moments
Waiting for my ride to come,
Or standing at the sink
Washing tea cups,
Walking to the mailbox
Suddenly he's there
Behind my vision
Still full of laughter
With that mischievous
little brother grin.
I miss him like a lost cause
Or a toothache that comes and goes
Waiting for my ride to come,
Or standing at the sink
Washing tea cups,
Walking to the mailbox
Suddenly he's there
Behind my vision
Still full of laughter
With that mischievous
little brother grin.

A9 By listening deeply, we shift our energy to something better. That shift brings clarity and sync. The choice is ours—to listen, or simply hear.#spiritchat

Flabbergasting indeed - I discovered it's in my Human Design, so, without conscious awareness, life can be difficult. Now I'm aware. Also, this can be a default setting for those who had difficult childhoods, as a survival technique @jeannette-canadian.bsky.social @holisticsailor.bsky.social

Understanding that we absorb other people’s energy is a huge step in protecting our own…
Empaths need to learn to shed the weight of other people’s energies…. It takes time but it can be done. #spiritchat

I am fortunate to have close friends who listen with their hearts.
I am so grateful.

A7: Two insights have helped me greatly: realizing that, with my emotional authority (Human Design), I need to give myself a lot of time to make big decisions, and understanding that I used to absorb others’ energy to fit in, which caused me to lose myself for a while. #spiritchat

A7 There are times that I don't want to hear what is being said...it takes humility and courage to listen in those moments. The words may be harsh or destructive...but I must be open to that voice and hear what is behind the words.
Not an easy task.
