“Listen Beneath What Seems To Be Said”

When I forget, remind me. If I make a mistake, let me know. If I see things differently, accept my point of view. When I don’t know, let me think about it.

When I seem slow, please allow my slow pace. When I do things different than you, let me be different. If I annoy you, step away and distract yourself. If I criticize you, know I am critical of myself.

When I am judgmental, recognize I am uptight. When I withdraw, trust I need to be alone. When I seem uncaring, it’s probably because it is scary. When I am embarrassed, let me off the hook.

When I deny you, know I am denying myself. When I neglect you, recognize I have not cared for myself. When I interrupt, it is because my needs seem greater than yours. When I am preachy or patronizing, know I need to hear my own messages.

I do not always recognize what I need. I rarely listen to myself. I am busy trying to excuse my own mistakes. I act out to protect myself from harm.

I seek to be heard, because I do not hear me. I seek to hide, because I am afraid of being seen. I seek to cover mistakes, because I fear you will reject me. I seek approval because I do not approve of myself.

All in all, I am using you to be my safe place. I am hoping you will love me no matter what. I am wishing you will forgive my errors. I am longing just to be the best me I can be.

Will you forgive my ignorance and stupidity? Will you be a safe place for me to learn and grow? Can you love me as I am and let me become a better me? Will you be there if I fall or fail or forget?

I need someone to be a safe place. I need someone to show me a better way. I need someone to be patient with my learning. I need someone to Love me.”

Response from all Who Remember Love! Thank you, Dear One who calls for Love. Thank you for reminding us to Love. Thank you for letting us hear you call. Thank you for waking us up to our own need to Love All!

You Are A Flower in the Garden of Life

If you would grow to be your best self Be patient, not demanding Accepting, not condemning Nurturing, not withholding Self-marveling, not belittling Gently guiding, not pushing & punishing

For you are more sensitive than you know Mankind is tough as war Yet delicate as flowers We can endure agonies But we open fully only to warmth & light And our need to grow is fragile as a fragrance Dispersed by storms of will To return only when those storms are still

So accept, respect, Attend your sensitivity

A flower Cannot be opened With a hammer.
