Loving means admitting you can't fix anything and still walking the painful mile with another person. I am a psychic. That is a flash point to say, but I hope I can just let it sit there without people needing to react to that. Because the reason I share that is to tell you my experience of how we are with one another. When I give a 'reading' to someone, I step into a position to share information from a guiding, loving part of themselves. I don't 'read minds' or 'see things'. The part of me that is larger than myself connects with the same part of them and I experience things in an empathic way and express as best I can what that part of themselves is trying to communicate in dreams and coincidences and every other available mode of communication, including me. I don't tell people things that shock them. I tell them things that they say they thought about a couple of weeks ago or saw a movie about etc. The thing I want to share is what I learn about people from what I do. <BR/><BR/>When I say I like tomatoes and you say you hate them, I am aware that tomatoes do not taste the same to each of us. Individual body chemistry makes things taste unique. There are also some physiological influences on taste such as tolerence for bitterness, dislike of dry foods, preference of salty or sweet. In other words, a number of interacting factors go into what a tomato tastes like to one person.<BR/> <BR/>Some people experience the world very visually, others auditorialy, still others kinesthetically. We are living in very different worlds. That isolates us and makes it difficult to understand one another. More than anything, we need to reach across the divides that keep us at arms lengths. Those differences mean that no matter how hard we try, communication will always be imperfect. But nothing matters more than trying to hear each other and trying to speak our truth to make us more able to be heard. <BR/><BR/>In my perception of people, we are largely struggling to live the best that we can. People I might take a dislike to in a normal interaction are revealed in a reading to be awesomely intricate but so lovable and admirable. Most of us live with an inner voice that is brutal, ruthless and cruel judging every thought we have and our every act. To create a safe place for us to be the lesser person we fear ourselves to be sneaking our comforting cigarette or drink and lay down the shields for a bit is a deep kindness. To speak here and trust each other with our most tender, fragile feelings requires great courage. I admire you who write and our hostess who keeps the lamp lit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1152300883359063262006-07-07T15:34:00.000-04:002006-07-07T15:34:00.000-04:00awesome. this is great! i am just having that kin...awesome. this is great! i am just having that kind of day that finding this here is making me cry.mama without instructionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034751367533504811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558474.post-1150082580318628102006-06-11T23:23:00.000-04:002006-06-11T23:23:00.000-04:00Shee, I meant killing me with cuteness.
