The most meaningful relationship

The most meaningful relationship in my life, is the relationship I have with my daughter. I have the opportunity to pass onto to her the lessons of life given to me by my mother.  I pass to my daughter the best of who I am, so she can be better than me. One day the spiritual lessons I was taught, that I now teach, will manifest themselves in a person so strong and healthy, that a great person will be born and raised and change the world.
I rest easy today knowing I had a small part in the creation of this dream. I find comfort in the thought of one of my descendants being healthy, self actualized, able to be kind, wise and strong in the face of life's adversities.
To reach through time and believe into reality this great person is real, now, has been born, and will be born again, is not crazy but hopeful. A line of strong spiritual women I come from, and another link in a chain of  un-health I break.  The future of my daughter and her daughter will be bright with strength and spiritual wisdom. So much so, I see the history of many being greatly enhanced by these strong women now and the women yet to come. Thank you Creator for my mother and for my daughter and for my life. I am grateful. Peace...BigMamaBlaze

DESIDERATA


 


DESIDERATA

GO PLACIDLY AMID THE NOISE AND HASTE, AND REMEMBER WHAT PEACE THERE MAY BE IN SILENCE. AS FAR AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT SURRENDER BE ON GOOD TERMS with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

 ~

~Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

~

~Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

~

~Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

 ~

~Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

~

~You are a child of the universe, no less than the tress and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

 ~

~Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. ~

~With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy.
