Compassion and victimization
Something I've noticed over the years is that whenever I feel victimized by life or sorry for myself it is because in truth there a little being here crying out for me to know how much she's hurting. When I am able to turn towards this suffering being and offer her understanding and compassion for all that she is going through , the sense of self-pity and victimization eases and is replaced by a feeling of sweetness and okayness with the life experience.
Sometimes the heart can open, sometimes it just feels closed. It's all OK . It all takes a while, we so cannot push ourselves through and out of these painful, tender places with our will. The heart has its own rhythm. It is often the very process of suffering itself that eventually prises the heart open into a tender love affair with the character known as you.
Being willing is all that is needed. The Great Heart is pulsating in all of us, carrying us inevitably into the experience of that greater love that we long for.
Someone very wise and a dear person sent this to me so I am sending it on hoping it will help us all.

Good advice - assuming the "little being" is an artful way of referring to yourself, not Horton's who, that is.
But you're absolutely right; we need to be receptive to our feelings and give them their place. When we resist our feelings, they simply grow more intense and clamor for our attention.

instead of she as (me) i should have put "we", the little one inside us all. speaking of that Horton is my fav. LOL
Horton Hatches the egg was it? And Harvey the invisible rabbit.
all kidding aside this is a good reminder for us all.

life is so funny sometimes isn't it. i love that film.
it reminds me of my friend mj, she was asking me a question once and i said i don't know it sounds really corny but like forest gump said life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gunna get. she started freaking out and said oh my god! it's on teli and he just said that. she is in california and i was in oregon, NOT watching it - i flipped through the channels and nothing here that i could find.
we always laugh about that all the time.
getting back to Harvey, it was so well done and i love jimmy stewart in it - so wonderful.

lol, it's amazing how those coincidences come together, isn't it? Jung called it 'synchronicity.' When we have an impression of an event that lies beyond our senses (whether in the future or at a far distance), I sometimes wonder whether we are passively viewing the event or actually creating it with our minds.

i don't know how it happens, but it happens alot. my friend therese' calls me the oracle and swares if i say it it will come true, naaaaaaaaaaaaa. i don't think so, but i have seen this in my life lots of times over and over. today i knew she was calling me on the phone from a private number - only cuz i just thought of her. it's something to laugh at. i don't even know where or how it comes.
maybe we are just all linked here - well in actuality the whole world is linked we are all just on one perticular wave riding it and experiencing it somewhat the same, indigo fassion. lol
