The Secret Within

 
Sometimes there are things that get in the way of seeing what is important…big things, little things. We are so focussed on everyday life and distracted by trivial stuff every minute of every day. It’s hard to realise every now and again what really is important. Some time ago I received two gifts: one friend gave me a beautiful hand embroidered canvas and the other gave me two beautiful sayings she had printed out and a story I already was told when I was little but had totally forgotten about..because , well, “things”get in the way….
 
One saying said : “The grass isn’t always greened on the other side. It’s greener where you water it”. So true: instead of looking around and thinking your reality is not as good as somebody elses, it’s much better to nurture and feed what you have and make it grow.

The other saying said :”We don’t meet people by accident: they are meant to cross our path for a reason”.  I have been very fortunate and thank you all for coming across my path !

I will leave you with a  Native American Indian story of a secret. Enjoy!
 
 
The Secret hidden within you
 
The Great Spirit gathered all and said:
”I want to hide something from the humans until they are ready for it. 
It is the realization that they create their own reality”. 
 
The Eagle said “Give it to me, I will take it to the moon”.
The Great Spirit said “No. One day they will go there and find it”.
 
The Salmon said “I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean”.
“No. They will go there too”.
 
The Buffalo said: “I will bury it on the Great Plains”.
The Great Spirit said “No. They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there”.
 
Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of Mother Earth
and has no physical eyes,but sees with with her spiritual eyes,
said;  “Put it inside of them”.
 
And the Great Spirit said “It is done”.
