You can see what it is you are creating when you look beyond
what shows up in your day to day, to who does. You are each other’s angels in
a very literal sense. You show up at
critical moments in each others lives to move things forward, fulfill prior arrangements
and assist in the manifestation of dreams.
None of these things could happen without the “other”.
These “others” show up for you in many ways. Today, with the internet as well as hundreds
of cable channels, it is possible for your angels to be located anywhere on the
planet. Every word you hear, or scene
you watch, has an effect. No moments are
wasted moments.
Life was not meant to be a solitary journey. Even the quietest and most isolated have in
their day some human contact. We are a social
species for a reason. That reason is
love.
Love in physical form can be demonstrated by “strangers” as
well as those you have come to know intimately.
It is a word or action that on some level alters your day. Sometimes you
find your whole mood shifts after catching a clip of a comedian on you
tube. This is not a small thing, it is
everything. Those artists devoting their
life to lifting the spirits of others do so for love.
Laughter is an equalizer, a field changer, a
stabilizer. Once the air is cleared with
laughter, even for a tiny moment, the possibility for new manifestation
occurs. Creation starts with
emotion. Depression, sadness and being
“stuck” sort of stops up the works and brings forth only more of that
energy. This is not expansive or growth
producing, but more of a platform from which the good stuff can take off. Now, we need beginnings and contrast to get
us going – but we don’t need to hang out there for very long.
Appreciate each moment of frustration and difficulty for what
it is – a point from which you can fly.
How many things, in hindsight only, seem to be the best things and most
life changing? How much easier would
life be if we appreciated each moment as it was happening?
Moments have players in them for you alone. Your life and each act it includes is being
performed for only one person in the audience – you. Each joke has a private meaning, each painful
incident specifically placed for you alone.
Life is a subjective occurrence.
Only you understand what the people in yours mean.
That is not to say that some people are not more important
to our everyday than others, they are.
Not because of what they do specifically, but how often interaction
occurs. Those we live with have chosen
to share more of this lifetime with us than those we get our mail from. Yet amount of contact does not diminish the
potential to effect change.
When you look at everyone you see today as angels, life
changing beings who crossed your path just when you needed them to, the world
looks different. You are not surrounded
by strangers, but by unknown assistants.
There is no such thing as a solitary life. We are here for each other;
that is why we incarnate.
Connections to people on the street or online occur at your
command. A feeling of knowing someone,
however brief, is real. Each contact has
value and purpose. In our busy lives, it
becomes perhaps easy to dismiss or ignore each other.
We are surrounded by angels.
They ring up our groceries, walk into buildings with us, deliver our
mail and wait behind us in line. Why not
look them in the eyes?
We stare at screens for a good portion of our days and yet
while doing so miss another facet of equally vital contact – real people. That person sitting next to you on the train
may have written the really powerful blog you just read or produced that funny
you tube clip. He also may have
something to say that you could use right now.
It has become habit to avoid each others eyes as we move
through our daily activities. This is a
loss for all parties. The most mundane
tasks take on life and meaning when a connection is made. Try it.
Create moments wherever you are. Meet each other in the place where everyone
is home – in the eyes. You may find
9 out of 10 uncomfortable and avoid your gaze but you’ll change everything for
that tenth one. This is why you both
showed up just now – to connect.
Love cannot be dismissed as unimportant however brief. Accept it from wherever it shows up and seek
it in every interaction. It is
there. You may just be the angel who
uncovers it for someone else today. As
you allow each moment to present to you its miracle, welcome the angel who
participated. An open heart changes
everything.
Everything ends. This
means that each moment and contact is a new beginning. Embrace them all. They showed up for you alone.
We are the Ones we’ve been waiting for.
