Connections

Sometimes in the flurry of daily activities we can become confused about what's real. We let ourselves rush from one project to the next - car maintenance, shopping, childcare, preparation after preparation until we are exhausted and out of touch with the point of it all. When we're trapped in that loop of endless running around to get no where, we become accusatory and suspicious of others. What am I fixing the kids for breakfast, when is there even time for breakfast, I'm so tired, become internal mantras that work like a smoke screen against our own clarity, blocking us from the truth.

The truth is we are loved from every angle. We just don't realize it, don't appreciate it until we settle down and allow ourselves to connect with the love that's there, real, always available to us. When open ourselves to the connections around us, we feel the great depth of this love.

The Internet can be an amazing tool for connections to our world, to everyone who is there. The trick is to remain focused on what is real, and to be honest about what is happening. Then we feel the connections, the love from every angle, whether or not we turn on the computer.

I don't know why we all shift to rushing around mode when we are inundated by love as we are. We have a fear of honesty because we think it will be brutal. The only brutal thing about honesty is the denial of its existence. The key is to remain receptive, to open our minds to the connections between us and everyone else whether or not we turn on a computer.

Receptive and Connected... I remind myself to stay that way today.
