Loving Communications
THE SEA OF LOVE
Adrift on an ocean
Alone, yet with you,
I am tied to your feelings
And that which you do
I try to remember
That, in fact, we are ONE
But if we fall into fear
Great damage is done
Can I take a long moment
To find the source of MY fear
To not push you away
When you try to come near?
When I push you away
I'm hurting me too
And I'm not being honest
About what I should do
Instead, I blame you
For the troubles I'm living
And ignore the love
That I'm sure you are giving
Can I take a long moment
To go into my being
To more understand
What I am hearing and seeing?
If life were just easy
Then our troubles would go
But we're in this together
I surely do know
So, if I ask for a moment
To find my own way
Remember I do so
To choose what I say
I could throw out my feelings
Without any thought
But some are about you
And some just are not
But because you're the ONE
With whom I share life
You become intermingled
With all of my strife
I just need a moment
Alone and within
To understand what I'm doing
And know who I've been
Within my true heart
I understand how we dance
So it's not left to fear
And it's not left to chance
Because I do love you,
Of that I am sure,
I'll protect our shared life
And keep our love pure
When I've had a few moments
To travel alone
I'll call you back to me
To see how I've grown
I ask that you, too
Look deep, deep inside
To find how you've acted
From your fear and your pride
Then, when we return
Back into the Flow
We'll share what we've learned
And what we now know
But one thing I know
For now and forever
The bonds of our love
I never will sever
Your heart walks with mine
Through each hour and day
And no matter the problem
We WILL find the way
I love you, my one
As I know you love me
And, as two drops of water
We travel the sea
FLOWING WITH OUR CHILDREN
Whereas marriage represents a love in which we wish to get closer and closer, our children have their own life raft that gets further and further away. At first, they share the mother's individual life raft during pregnancy and well into their first two years. However, as parents in the flow, we know that they are great beings who have honored us by choosing us as their parents. The children, who are being born now, especially to awakening parents, are of a new evolution.
These children are being born awake, just as we were, but because the resonant frequency of Gaia is higher and the Collective and Planetary Consciousness of her people is more expanded, children who once dared not enter the turbulence of Earth are now being born. And why are they choosing to incarnate now? It is because they are discovering that there are parents who can shelter them from the fear and pain of our physical Earth long enough for them to "get their sea legs."
As parents and grandparents of these wonderful children, we must protect them while we also fully allow them to become their SELF. A fearful parent is afraid that their child will evolve beyond them, whereas a loving parent rejoices when their child is able to surpass them. Awakened parents feel as though they are in a team race, and just as their parents have passed the baton on to them, they joyfully pass the baton on to their own children.
During pregnancy and infancy, the child shares the mother's raft, who can also share her raft with the father. Fathers are now able to share the pregnancy, birth and infancy of their children in a manner that was not present before the generation of the children of the Baby Boomers. Then, as children become toddlers, we lovingly watch as they create their own life raft on top of ours and rejoice as they decide to take their first maiden voyage. Of course, they may not realize that their raft is still tied to ours. On the other hand, perhaps they secretly know that they are still tied to us, and it is that knowledge that allows them the courage to explore their world seemingly alone.
As the children become older and older, the rope that secures their life raft to ours gradually becomes longer and longer. Our communication style with our children, however, is much like that with our mate. First we must look within, so that we can clearly understand our contribution to the difficulty at hand. We are the creators of our reality. Therefore, we are the creators of all our relationships. Eventually, the day comes when our children will wish to sever the rope which connects our life rafts. Then, with tears and joy, we send them out into the world knowing that the rope is still there, although it is now invisible.
As parents of grown children, we must always remember this invisible rope for it sends to our children and their families all the thoughts and feelings that we have towards them. Our children know us as well as we know them. In fact, they may know us better, as they had to understand how to get what they wanted from us. As parents of grown children, we must perceive and interact with them as independent adults, even though our hearts still see them as our babies. The gift of being a loving parent who takes full responsibility for the rearing of their child is that they can have wonderful friends for all of their lives. These children may live close or far, but they are still forever implanted deep in our hearts.
When we are fortunate, our grown children give us the most wonderful gift in the entire universe, grandchildren. With our grandchildren, we are free of the responsibility of raising the children and can focus on enjoying them. Of course, there are many scenarios in life, and we can all choose to create our lives as we wish. Some of us have huge families and some of us find our family in our friends. Either way, family is a state of consciousness that says, "I love and accept you for all of my life. I may not always like you, but I will always love you!" In this manner, we can have friends that are family and family that are friends.
