Bordering On Magnificent PERCEPTION

5 people can look at the same thing and each see it differently.
They could all look at the same situation
and see different posibilities in it
or different outcomes to it
based on their own experiences or feelings.

You have all heard someone speak of
"seeing the glass as half full or half empty",
usually meant to seperate the "positive" people from the "negative" ones.

I really don't like things that seperate humans so much from each other...
I LOVE the idea that we all could
put aside our own fears and need to win or be "right"
and just really Listen to each others HEARTS...
and HEAR their opinions,
or beliefs,
or what they are feeling...
and not be afraid of it or feel the need to fix it...
but just to be open to understanding and valuing
the ideas that are a part of who they are.

I can jump in before I have fully heard what someone is saying
and totally miss the point
or the heart of what they needed to share.

I am sorry for the times I have done that
to any of you that I know well.
I used to do it more often because as a kid
I always felt the need to get in a good defence
before i got a beating.

When People feel misunderstood or picked on for a long time
they tend to do this.
I believe that LOVE and UNDERSTANDING
can help us all
to REALLY LISTEN, AND also REALLY BE HEARD.

We need both,
We ALL NEED to LET OUR SPIRIT HAVE A VOICE
and we can all give each other the gift
of being valued and REALLY HEARD.

LET'S ROCK THE SPACE WE'RE IN THIS WEEK
BY SPEAKING OUT WHAT WE FEEL AND THINK,
AND REALLY GETTING MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH LISTENING TO THE HEART AND VOICE OF THOSE AROUND US...
(EVEN OLDER PEOPLE AND KIDS)

Love and Peace of Mind,
Delight, and Clarity of Purpose,
to you and those you love,
JOY
