When we recognize others we are recognized. When we validate others we are validated. What we offer is what we inevitably receive. Life is cyclical; seasons, planetary orbit, love...

Have you ever read a quote and loved it but not enough to share it? Something didn't resonate but you weren't sure why? That's what the quote, "Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic." by Marty McConnell to Frida Kahlo has been for me.
So often I have been tricked into seeing what I so desperately wanted to see in someone's eyes; I fell for falsehood, for lies only because I was more focused on what I was missing and not on what I already had. So for anyone who believes in their own magic but would appreciate having it reflected by someone who believes in theirs equally, this quote is for you - with all due respect to Marty and Frida. ~ Micah Personal growth, healing, recovery, whatever you want to call your journey, has a way of making you look outside of yourself. Reflection and introspection are common along this journey and you begin to wonder if this state will be permanent; the state of constant observation. “Look out from within and observe the words, actions, reactions, and feelings that evolve from you. Release the identity with what you have observed if it creates tension and stress. Surely you will dissolve into effortless being that way.” ― Franklin Gillette, Compatibility: The Code of Harmony for Love and Unity Then you have days where you are a participant. You participate in life, the richness of experience, the rawness of it. There is an ebb and flow to the observer/participant within each of us. A Yin/Yang relationship and finding the healthy dynamic for ourselves, our personal equilibrium as life and our every day decisions thrust us to and fro. It is no coincidence that Autumn would bring reflection. Nor is it a coincidence that this thought would be pondered so close to a Black New Moon. I have seen myself as mist. Whether I am alone or in a crowded room I seem to quietly observe and participate at the same time. Presence alone being the only influence; moving between and around the other participants and observing the participation. Free, impermanent, witnessing as I am witnessed. |
