8 March
Nelson Mandela has remarked that we do no one any favors hiding our light and pretending to “be smaller than we are.” When the creative power moves through me I wish to expand, but I also want to hide and contract because it is very uncomfortable for me to be in the light. It is more comfortable for me to push my loved ones into the light, helping. Being brought up Catholic we are taught to be humble. And being brought up with a twin sister I was constantly resented if I did shine. I wanted to be loved so I hid. When I write this down it sounds quite silly. I need to resist this desire for approval and love. We are spiritual beings and when the spirit evolves we need to, we must create and shine our light. I think I need to cooperate because we will feel the pinch of the spiritual “dis…ease” (if you will) That is what makes me blue sometimes I think. I am feeling like in quicksand, very stuck when I am in the war of when to expand and when to contract. Creativity is God s nature and our own. We need to know when to surrender.
