What If?

Child-like wonder will keep me ever young and vitally engaged in this plane and all others which I experience. "What if?" is one of my very favorite questions. Actually, it's THE favorite question. The other I use a lot is "Why?" but I can't always get the answers for that one.

"What if?" lets me see good in any bad situation. What if I am not diseased because I am being punished for some wrong doing, but I'm being sustained, despite the disease, so that I have more time to finish my purpose/goals/life?

Neither scenario changes the outward circumstances, but opening the possibilities will dramatically change Me. I can bemoan my lousy luck, a short genetic straw, an accident or event that plagued me. OR... I can live with the joy and assurance that I am being protected or buffered against what might otherwise have destroyed me completely. It's the art of seeing silver linings. They are always there. Always.

I do this as easily as I breathe. I wish I could package this skill for every other being on the planet. All I can do is pass it along to those I contact. Most people get into the hang of it after only a few suggestions of alternative ways to look at things. It's all about perception. Most people want to feel loved, by something, someone, somewhere. They've forgotten that it counts from anywhere, even from within, or from an unseen, unnamed everywhere.

The need to fullfill this duty is my adult side, a heavy feeling of responsibility, but one which I bear with the joy of being able. For myself, I hope that I will be humble in my execution of this duty. I am rewarded for passing on light because in the process, it passes through me too and sometimes comes back to beam warmly upon me.

For all others, I wish love, light, peace, joy, and compassion, always.
