Have YOU Met YOU?

Hot colors and cool spirit

Be the gift you'd love to be given. I have this saying I use often "I give me what I want because I love her". "Her" is me. If asked to name all of the people you love in your life, how long would it take to say your own name?  I say mine daily in meditation if only in my mind.

I forget how wonderful I am until someone sees me and speaks in how interesting they find me. Total, sincere shock every single time. I think I'm boring. Have you met the you that you present to others. Do you like you? Do you love you? Would you want to receive you as a gift?

Maybe because I've gotten used to the ebb & flow of my life. Maybe because the mundane has become my normal. But maybe because I don't always fully see then acknowledge the robust, fullness of my being expressed aloud. 

When I leave my house I typically choose the level of want to do it. Am I going out as a flicker, a flame or a supernova? It will always be some semblance of light though. Some days, even in by boringness, my quiet light is too loud and bright for the world around me. I asked my friend what is less light, less fire than a flicker and he said that I smolder. Smolder! On the ready to burst into a full flame of light at any moment! So now when go into the world wanting to move through a bit softer, quieter and still fully myself, a gift, wrapped gently for others to embrace.... I smolder.
