longing

NZ photo by Shirley Keen

I want to be outside, I want to be outdoors, wandering through the woodlands, I want to be alone on a lost pathway, alone with my thoughts, the birds, and the wildlife that abounds around me, my only company. Wanting is not doing. Sometimes we just have to wait to do what we want to do. Sometimes we need to practice patience.

Today I am practicing “patience” and I’m not all that good at it. One would think after all the years I have had in the world and the chances I’ve had to practice patience, I’d have a better handle on it. Sigh.. I still have to work at it.

Do everything willingly and joyfully. Your upbeat attitude will make things more cheerful and enjoyable.

    Patience can at times be the most difficult thing to have. Especially when it feels we have waited long enough.

      It is something I have had to learn over and over again… =^_^= one would think I’d learn just to stop having to live through the annoying moments… waves to you, and sends a warm thank you.. I’m going to do what a grown up does best.. go back to bed and pull up the covers.

    Embracing your life just as it is in this moment is not an easy thing to do. And I wonder if our longings are just a gentle nudge to redirect us in our lives. Before I realized my gift as a messenger, I had intense longings in my heart. In my human fashion, I thought it was a longing for a companion in life. But I was wrong. The longing was to reconnect with the Oneness in a way I never thought possible. After I was gently led to someone who could open that doorway for me and my gift emerged, I no longer felt that longing.
    Life will provide you the way to realize the truth of your longings and how to best reach that which you seek. We are always given guidance on where to go next. Namaste.

      that is so true. longing is a part of the emotion of accepting and realizing – life is what it is, I’ve learned to be more accepting of allowing an emotion to happen, too often in my younger years, I tried to “control” an outcome.. and that I’ve learned, is a waste of energy. In PL. Precept # 11 is Always be with God.. I’d have it no other way… =^_^= Namaste -Oyashikiri
