The Gentleness in You

Gentleness is paramount in the things we value most, from breezes to animals to the touch of another being, Kye, to whom the Home page is dedicated, was a gentle hawk. He would sit on my tummy while I sunbathed, I didn't need a glove to pick him up from the perch. Last night I dreamed about this bird, and having not dreamt about Kye since his death 20 years ago, I'm guessing he came this morning to say something.

In the dream, he landed in a tree dragging his perch. Seeing him through the window, I went outside and as soon as I did so the hawk flew towards me, which I didn't expect, for in dreamscape I didn't know this bird, I had simply noticed him from my window. Landing on the ground because he couldn't drag the perch any further, he let me free him from it and then flew to my arm as soon as it was raised. From that point, he stayed in my dream of strange plumbing problems and bad timings, regularly escaping from his perch to return to me for cuddles. He crept into my bed (in the dream!) and curled up to sleep there, having crapped in it first - you can't house-train a hawk. When I woke up, I realised it was Kye I had been dreaming about, and followed his lead in coming here to write this.

From a personal point of view, I can safely say that the last few months have been a little heavy-going. I've had to re-write my own book of life a few times over the past year and most recently I had to change the entire structure of my new company to take account of others not sharing my view of the community aspect. I wanted to profit-share everything I earned with charities who could deliver a talk, or an experience day, or whatever else they could provide to raise awareness among the employees of client companies and take their relationships forward. Perhaps in being so determined to make this work, I overshadowed the need for patience and subtlety of approach. Perhaps I scared off potential partnerships by being too enthusiastic. It's happened before, not in business terms (at least not that I know of), but in terms of what I did to my twin-flame relationship. Having said that, I cannot look back now and say I was wrong. I can't say that the resultant avalanche of information wasn't absolutely crucial to know. I can only say that I was heartbroken at the time, but this time, with the company, I'm merely a little disappointed.

After all, it's my company and I can do what I want with it. I have in mind to turn it into something of a gifted circle, in deference to one of the many things I have learned along the way through life. People learn more, and learn faster, when they cover ground in cross-reference with each other. The process is shared, the experiences are more interesting, and the events are more memorable when everyone has a chance to take something from it and contribute something at the same time. The gift is in the present moment, the sharing of time being of the Now and the gain being exponentially greater when results are instantly visible.

Kye came to remind me of the quality of gentleness, a quality we all share, and one we notice by its absence perhaps more than its presence. When the breeze is gentle, the wind is tame. Where words are gentle, there's no-one to blame, You cannot prevent the onslaught of your situations any more than I can, but we can amend our perspectives to bring gentleness to ourselves, to emanate the kindness of personality and help others in the process to do the same.
"Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should."
These words from Desiderata have a poignant ring to them, and I hope I remember the events of this morning for a while, as I make my attempt to carry forward the wholesome discipline necessary for personal welfare along with the appreciation that as a child of the Universe, there is a pattern greater than the sum of my own vision, and a plan of more magnitude than anything I could envisage, to be trusted to reveal itself as and when it becomes right that it should. 
"Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass."

Enjoy your day, enjoy your life, and worry not about the trials, for they are there not to break you, but to strengthen your spirit, and therein lie the gifts you can neither reject nor replace.  We can only thank the Universe for the gift of divine timing.

Wow! When I did the Dale Carnegie Course I learned that everyone is doing their best with the tools they have, mentally and physically. "There but for the Grace of God go I" comes to mind, perhaps we are just learning how true those words are. All life forms are connected in phenomenal ways say some scientists. And perhaps there will come a time when the disparity between us will become smaller as we learn that we need each other, rich and less so. Gentleness is something that can bring peace in a hectic world. It is said that these times are changing and it is the right time now for us to live in the present and to find our own truth. For me it's working in my job to give excellent service. And run a Meditation group. One of these two I am doing, the other is in the beginnings of happening which I am determined to accomplish. The Gentleness in you - is an inspirational true story that I am so glad to have read and imbibed!!!

A quote from one of Toni Robbin's pupils. All trainings that are authentic take the position that NOTHING is ever wrong with anyone's behaviour and that we are all attempting to meet our own needs, even if that action or behaviour is not necessarily the best way to do it. We are using the tools that we have and sometimes those tools need developing for the better

When we are Children we like to play hide and seek. Well, what if the Universe was just like a Child and hid secrets from us. Secrets that we have to learn by experiencing all the emotions of life and learning from them. Perhaps our worst enemy is teaching us a lesson; perhaps that lesson is Forgiveness; the most powerful force in the Universe. Google the word Namaste, Beautiful!
