NEW BEGINNINGS

Beginning with Me


Actually the logical place to begin anything is with me, since I have no control over You. But somehow I frequently seem to want to begin with You, if You would only understand, see it my way, allow me to manipulate the situation, I would be a benevolent God as we did things My way.
Of course there is an alternative. I could wait for You to make things happen. If they don't or Your efforts fail, its Your fault-- don't look at me.

The truth is:
If I want a gentler world, I need to be gentler;
If I want to be accepted, I need to be accepting;
If I want space, I need to give space;
If I want to be loved unconditionally, I need to love unconditionally;
If I want peace; I need to be at peace;
If I want people to be happy; I need to be happy.
If I want a nicer world, I need to be nice not just when its easy but when its not easy.
For in the end although surrounded by all of You, what I see and feel about You- about life- is inextricably bound to who I am.
So today I begin with me- and let You be.
May we grow together in
Love and Light
