People We Meet

I believe that people we meet come into our lives for a reason. Bring something to our existence, especially when we take time to get to know them. Some might say it is our 'vibration' at that time or place which has brought them into our orbit.

Lately I have been meeting people who seem to have a hidden fragility. A part that they are studiously trying to ignore, while they are fully aware of it. Perhaps this is the world's way of forcing me to look at my own space right now. I have let myself get too busy, too unfocused, to much out of myself. I am not 'feeling' as many connections or synchronicities in my day to day life. A sure indication I am over functioning I think. Are these people crossing my paths because they make me want to reach out and wrap myself around them? To stop and heal them? And in this stopping and healing that I may too find my own stillness? Hmmm.

The other side of it could be that these people may be showing me what life is when you just 'take it as it comes' and don't push forward through challenges. I know I never want to just ride it, but want to live it. When I was so needy myself in the fall, strong people seemed to be around me. I think at this moment it is my place to reach out and touch.

A few new people I have met have given me very new and different perspectives on life. In a way they even acted as a mirror, showing me that yes-- these choices I have made ARE right for me.

People act as mirrors of self, people deliver lessons, people open up opportunities for growth. I want to experience fully. I am trying to slow, lighten my load, focus my energy. Hope my energy attracts someone to guide me, 'cause I have NO idea how to do it on my own! Maybe this is what is unfolding right now. I almost feel like there is a curve in the road with a change in direction ahead.

Tally Ho!
