Sometimes things just pop in - they seem to come flying in from the Universe - bits of inspiration like the glistening stars in the dark of night. The last few months for me have been riddled with the most severe communication issues I have ever had. It has not been fun. It has, in fact, been complete misery teetering on the brink of despair. It has felt like I have been in my own bubble, speaking a completely different Jibbernackle of language (o.k., yes - I do mish-mash and make up words, or they pop in, or what-not, but I mean nearly all the time even when I am speaking plain english to a plain-english-speaking person).
These are tender times for us - in our personal relationships to the world stage. What came through today is in regards to this communication - to begin simple. Sometimes it feels as if one person or "side" is yelling at the other person or "side" from opposite banks of a gorge, each yelling to the other about not coming to the other side or about how the bridge isn't being built... Yelling across their point of view and how the side of the gorge looks one way, the other side yelling about how, no, there is no rock in the side of the gorge but there is a tree ("HOW COULD YOU MISTAKE A TREE FOR A ROCK, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE??") - all the while both are correct from respective perspectives.
Something to try in these times is to build the bridge from the middle. You see, we are used to being bound by gravity and what-comes-first, even in situations where we can create all that we want - to be boundless. Consider starting in the middle - at the simplest point of agreement or the Core of whatever-it-is being yelled about from across the distance. In a relationship, for example, consider starting at: "Do we love each other?" "Do we both still want to be in this relationship?" "Do we both still want to build on this and grow as a couple?" - the Core, simple questions. If any of these are "no", the arguments fade away anyhow. If yes, continue to build outwards. Decide that you ARE together, start on the same page and in the same place, and build it together. Not one from one side, one from the other, but from the middle - building outwards - together. Keep it simple, still. Keep it at baby steps. Build your agreement together so that you may walk across the bridge together and see each other's point of view... and admire what you just built - together.
Most things in nature are built this way - small, simple, then spiraling out, with time. It is humorous (when you are not in the middle of it) to see how difficult we make it - going against nature, feeling alone, feeling like we need to build our side of it before we come to the middle... all the while complaining about doing it ourselves and how we aren't together, struggling, etc... When if we begin together, from the Center, we continue together. Many times we being together, and will end together.
If this visual isn't your cup of tea, consider the visual of the Rose (or another flower with spiraling petals). Do not try to pluck the petals on the outside - the ones that seem the most obvious. Start at the heart. Spiral out from there. Build your communication from the Heart and go from there. You will find that when you do this, you have built compassion which supports the bridge, that which gives the rose its fragrance. You will have the common ground first, then be able to compromise on what seems so far apart.
"These are very important times - times where everything is amplified - and it is imperative that we watch out thoughts, for we are literally watching them materialize in front of us. Be vigilant of your words, for they are The Breath and vibration which brings things to Life. Find your common ground with each other - with your friends, your families, your communities, your nations. Bridge the discord. Remember the beautiful scent of the Rose in Every One. Remember, Dear Ones, Re-Member. Come together. It is time."
Be strong in these times, and recall your light.
Much Love to All.
