I want to be whole
No I don't
To be perfect.........
Is ..........
Not to be
Not to happen.
Reminds me of the story
a man saw the butterfly struggle
as it tried to break out of it's chrysalis
so, with small scissors,
he cut through the binding, locking, gripping chrysalis
and the butterfly struggled free.
Then it flopped
fell over
could not move it's wings
weak, never to fly.
The very act in the struggle
it to gain strength.
The worst times in my life
I fear them even now
yet looking back,
they were the greatest in terms of
living
learning
strength
wisdom
sensitivity
self awareness
life .............
I don't want to be whole.
I want to journey in that direction
I want to be BECOMING
I am BECOMING ..........
I want to shout
I want to sing
I am free
I am free
I am free indeed.
Join me?
Or do you think that is all talk
mad
rubbish?
and someone else contributes here
into my wisdom with better words -
but I can take it - I want it EVEN
"The whole person is on the one side open to God,
and on the other side open to other people.
The isolated individual is not a real person,
for a real person lives in and for others.
This idea...could be summed up under the word love.
We become truly personal by loving God and by loving other humans.
By love,
I don’t mean merely an emotional feeling,
but a fundamental attitude.
In its deepest sense,
love is the life,
the energy,
of the Creator in us.
We are not truly human as long as we are turned in on ourselves.
We become whole only insofar as we face others, and relate to them."
