Well it's been awhile since I've posted in here.  I've been posting most of my thoughts and inspirations on twitter and facebook trying to build up an audience for Emerge, something I believe in  very much.  Slow going...lol
But there are times when what I need to say is a bit more personal and maybe...less politically correct. (Like I let that stop me, but I certainly don't wish to step on any toes.)
This is a thought that I've been revisiting.....and strangely enough an article on Darwin and his anxiety issues brought it up again for me. I'm sure it's not anything remarkable, most people have figured it out, but then again, I know I get stuck on facts and reality, so maybe many haven't. It's simply this: that rainbow, some look at that and think "God's miracle", he gave us rainbows as a promise.  Well of course that is the literal interpretation, and we all know it is the light reflecting off the water droplets.  Science can explain all the "miracles" documented in history.  What it can't explain is this: why do we see a rainbow as beautiful?  What in us makes us respond to a babies laugh or the beauty of a song?  What gives us the ability to see the grace in the death of a brave soul who battled bravely through cancer?  Darwin wasn't wrong, of course not, there has been evolution.  What science can't explain, is faith.  Our soul, that deep wisdom based in love, that knows that while something might seem very real, it isn't true.  That energy that connects us all.  And I just have to say, all I could think about as I read the article on Darwin, is no wonder he suffered like he did. I'm not saying he didn't believe in God, reports are that he did, but that he spent so much time turning his face from the real beauty of faith that his soul wasn't being fed.
So when I look at a rainbow, I am still in awe, not because I believe some literal parable, I believe in the intentions behind it and I believe in the person standing somewhere else seeing that same beauty and sharing that same moment of beauty.  Because in the end, that's all we really have, are those moments.  And for that, I am thankful.

What if......

I just saw this post titled: This is for the women who don't give a f*ck.  And I think, yeah, I should be like that!  But do I really want to be like that?  Should I care what other people think of me? No! But should I care what other people think?  I think it's great to be a warrior, but I also don't want to lose my compassion.  I love my soft edges, the sappy part of me that cries at touching movies, or hell commercials.  At the same time I want to be that Amazon woman that is so tough, she can handle anything. She armors up and wields her blade to protect her loved ones.  I am that woman, I've learned through years of what can only be termed as neglect from those who should have been there for me that all I can do is protect myself....but I don't want to be that woman all the time. If I am so armored up, I will keep out the good too. I want to be open to the good that WILL come, to expose my soft underbelly and know that if someone does chose to stab at my vulnerabilities, I will survive...if not in this world, then in the next.  I want my armor to be my faith, faith in my divine being, in my light.
