wrong number

wrong numbers don't only apply to phone calls.
they apply to the wrong number of people in a group, especially when your trying to get on a ride at an amusement park or want to all sit together for a meal.

wrong numbers that apply to not winning the lottery or better yet when you do then there is way too many people to share the money with, not to mention all the people who come into your life that you haven't seen in a life time in a half, or those long lost relatives who should have stayed lost to begin with.

wrong numbers that apply to the number of hours you worked and the numbers in front of the decimal point don't seem to add up.
or
the countless pages you've read over the years don't add up to the factual events of your life.
better yet how about the wrong numbers that we right down and come to find out we transposed them and end up dialing the wrong number, or driving to the wrong address, or late for an appointment that could have changed your life forever.
so does someone intervene and thats why we have WRONG NUMBERS.
wrong numbers,
they say our lives are designed by numbers.

food for thought

difficult people come and they go in our lives
To view the most difficult person you know and see them for what they really are is the easy part, truly accepting them for who they are is the hard part.
It was taught to me this way:
Always remember that for every difficult person that comes into our life we create understanding whether we accept it or not.

to view each person as if you were looking into a mirror can bring the problem that keeps resurfacing over and over again to a halt.
that is of course if that is what you want.
i say that only because if you don't want it to stop, i mean the chaos (and believe me we all do this to ourselves).
we create a situation of chaos, because that is all it is, it's not a problem.
it only becomes a problem when we allow it to be a problem.
you see most people who go from one chaotic situation to the next are very comfortable with the chaos of uncertainty. they look forward to the next event in there life because without it they feel they would have no existence.
so
to see each person as a mirror of yourself allows you to fix what is wrong in you so that you can once again have peace.
example: let's say there is someone in your life that is very critical of your every move.
now is the time to look very closely at your own life and ask and answer
honestly if you are critical of yourself in anyway shape or form.
when you admit to yourself that yes you are very critical of yourself,
now you must ask yourself why am I critical of myself, who made me believe
that i am the way i am.
was it taught to you, was it ingrained in you, and the person who taught you
how to be this way are they too very critical of themselves or only those around
them.
were not looking to put blame on anyone, that includes ourselves what we are looking for is to bring UNDERSTANDING AND ACCEPTANCE. once we bring understanding than only can we be accepting of our own mistakes, because it's so much easier to blame the other person than ourselves.
so yes! you will always be wrong in the light of others, but you will always be right in the light of GOD.
so ACCEPTANCE is the key to solving the chaos of others. take their power to hurt you away by accepting what they say. eventually the chaos they insist on creating for you will disappear because it will no longer be fun for them to create chaos when you put out the fire as soon as it begins.
it's like saying to the stranger: wow, you look really bad today, are you sick or something?
your response: NOPE, i feel great. how are you feeling today?
you just bounced back the chaos to them.

just breathe

sometimes that's all it takes to find solace we are looking for
so JUST BREATHE
it will bring you back to center, as you allow the tensions of the day slip away.

unConditional

Un-to undo something and make it not work.
Conditional-to need to have something replaced for giving something up.

Un-CONDITIONAL LOVE:
do we even know how to give something to another person without requesting something in return let alone ask for UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. yet we do it all the time.
wanting love and giving ourselves fully to someone unconditionally and expecting love in return for the favors we bestowed upon another.

yet we preach to one another of the tireless giving we bestow to another and wanting recognition for what we gave or acknowledgement for things we did.
so how different is recognition from acknowledgement or for that matter expecting from UN-conditional.

there are very few persons that can totally give entirely massive amounts of energy and love to another and not expect to be THANKED.

to those people i bow down my head to you,
and thank you for your unconditional effort and hard work that makes my life easier as i walk along this path of human exsistence.

the hunger for what we can not have

the esoterics of ladytao
we search and search and all we seem to end up with is fool's gold.
almost at the end of the rainbow and suddenly as quickly as it appears, it disappears.
just as love comes so easily for one, understanding what we have is often too late.

yet the GODS take pity on us
or do they just tease us with what we are not destined to have.

i think they take pity on us,
they know how lonely it is ,
but what we get to keep is usually not what we had hope for, because deep down inside we don't feel like we have earned the right to be happy.

so we take what comes our way as if it were a handout from the GODS above,
while deep inside we crave and hunger for what our neighbor has, not knowing they too crave and hunger for what they do not have.

seeing thru the eyes of a child

everything is so bright,
everything is so new,
everything is such a wonder.

seeing the colors of the day so bright and full
seeing things with no expectations
seeing with awe

"sorry did you say something; I was watching the pretty butterfly that just caught my eye!"

New-ness

left alone to our own de-vices

the esoterics of ladytao
how often we wish to be left to our own vises.
so we can do exactly what we wish
so we can go exactly where we want
we travel so far away;
mentally, emotionally draining all those who care for us
with no concern of the future or its consequences.

so we wish to be left alone because the family and friends who love to mettle can no longer help.
so to HELL with them all
as the heart breaks with every thought and tongue lashing that comes uncontrolling out of our mind and mouth.
we can't seem to control what drives us to dis-associate ourselves from those whom we really want to save us from ourselves.
