My days are interesting and kind of all over the place. One minute I am deeply connected and the next, just going through the motions. I focus on being present, having patience and purpose but I am pulled in the opposite direction often. I see that Polarity is all around me in thinking and functioning.
I am in limbo and moving forward. I have outgrown my life in a way that makes me feel edgy and bored to be in it. I know that sounds strange given all of the growth but the day to day stuff, well, I am over it. I want to use the time in between the “half to” stuff for more creation yet I find myself too blah about the “half to” stuff to move.
I am standing on a cliff ready to take flight, excited and in awe, like seeing a sunset for the first time or walking in warm sand barefoot. Then responsibility slaps me in the face and says, “don’t forget about”, I stop listening and do. Doing with my body and flying in spirit, when smack I hit the ground in a pile of laundry with the alarm clock going off. I say I just want five more minutes but really I want a lifetime.
I have told the story of the two wolves to several people recently, in response to “what is it you are feeding”. It’s only fitting that it’s exactly what I am looking at. I thought I would share as a reminder to myself.
I am humbly grateful, Michelle
What am I feeding today?
The Story of Two Wolves
A Grandfather from the Cherokee Nation was talking with his grandson.
"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves."
"One wolf is evil and ugly: He is anger, envy, war, greed, self-pity, sorrow, regret, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, selfishness and arrogance."
"The other wolf is beautiful and good: He is friendly, joyful, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, justice, fairness, empathy, generosity, true, compassion, gratitude, and deep VISION."
"This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other human as well."
The grandson paused in deep reflection because of what his grandfather had just said.
Then he finally asked: "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder Cherokee replied, "The wolf that you feed."
