About Wounds
My most recent encounters via my daily life, brought up issues of “wounded indigenous cultures” and where we are NOW!
I’m sure this is the scenario being “FED” politically and otherwise across the globe… The message I receive is, “Feed your wounds,” and if you haven’t managed to heal them or don’t want to, then… “USE YOUR WOUNDS AS WEAPONS!”
Many years ago I worked in a homeless shelter, they didn’t provide overnight sleeps, though, they did provide a place, space for homeless people to spend the day and get at least one good meal.
I was the peace-keeper (canary in a coal mine) so to speak. There were three rules, “no drugs, no alcohol, no violence” whilst on the premises. I had to “stand my ground” a few times.
There was a time where, I REALLY HAD TO CALL UP THE POWER OF MY INNER LIGHT & FREEDOM! It taught me heaps, this latest incident is like having to CALL UPON THAT SAME ENERGY!
The majority of people who attended, no matter what their backgrounds were respectful and appreciative of the gift this service provided for them.
The incident that came to mind from recent happenings is this, “WOUNDS!”
Everyone has them. This is what I learned from my time working in that homeless shelter, “There are people who use their wounds to HEAL & those who choose to use their WOUNDS AS WEAPONS!”
Isn’t this what we are experiencing across the globe, fed by news media, social media etc that separates us. Is it only, “my people (Arabic, Russian, Ukraine, Israeli, Ecuadorian etc), my family (cultural group etc) that matter???
Of course, I desire to protect those in my “inner circles” more than everyone else, but that is a SURVIVAL STRATEGY!
Returning to that homeless incident all those years ago, using “wounds as weapons”, this particular person so wounded, beyond my ability to heal, just uses his wounds as a weapon, to inflict pain on everyone he comes across, (except only when he is totally intoxicated), not interested in doing anything positive about his own healing. Hopefully, he found his way.
I had to walk past these parklands where the homeless used to sleep to get home, and after a very heated (INTENSE) STANDING MY GROUND! I had to walk home, past these parklands.
I HAD THIS EPIPHANY!!!…
BECAUSE YOU ARE WOUNDED YOU FEEL YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO INTIMIDATE EVERYONE ELSE!!! EXCEPT YOU KNOW WHAT??? I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO WALK THESE STREETS FREE & IN SAFETY AS YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO INTIMIDATE ME!!!
That’s my feeling right now, working in the op shop I volunteer at…. and I HOPE EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU EMBRACES THE POWER OF YOUR INNATE FREEDOM BEYOND INTIMIDATION VIA FEAR. Who cares where that intimidation comes from, DIG DEEP INTO THE FREEDOM OF YOUR HEART (that is ALWAYS there).
MIRACLES HAPPEN when we choose to FLOW WITH THE WISDOM OF OUR HEARTS, EVEN IF WE DON’T KNOW HOW???
Our bodies are just temporary vehicles to migrate through time and space… Sometimes I have had to get to that place where I am willing to surrender my physical body for the MIRACLE to manifest, though, mostly I make the effort for a Higher Wisdom, Love, Freedom, Joy, Wellness etc
I’m absolutely not averse to surrendering my physical body for a HIGHER WISDOM, LOVE, FREEDOM, JOY etc
I wasn’t sure what track to finish with. This one feels perfect
Blessings for LIVES, WORLDS, FREE of INTIMIDATION & HEARTS SINGING, DANCING, BEING AS WE WERE CREATED TO BE!
