Many Sides & Many Ways

Today’s message comes from the Postcards from Spirit Deck, by Colette Baron Reid. It says:

“Dear You,

There is always more than one side to an argument, two sides - if not more! - to every story, and hundreds of ways to be right, be different, be at odds, and so on. Today, we suggest that instead of looking for differences, you find a meeting place of agreement and approach this experinece with understanding and compassion. Seek common ground to understand how another person thinks or how an alternate plan might be laid. Stay out of judgment too. Observe, discern, but accept that others have different stories, experiences, and journeys and some people might refuse to remain open to another’s point of view. No matter what, you’ve been presented with a great opportunity to explore a new way of doing things once common ground is reached. You’re attracting people and situations that enrich your life and bring you wonderful things to learn.

We love you so much!”

What will you take the opportunity to learn from your experiences today?

Are you willing to step back and respond, rather than react?

Are you willing to allow more perspectives - more than one truth?

Are you willing to allow nonconformity?

Are you willing to allow yourself to feel safe in a sea of difference?

Are you willing to allow things to not make sense?

What do you discover about you and about those around you as you move through your life today with all of this in mind?

You are love and you are loved! And so it is!
