Giving Christmas 2008
December 17th, 2008 by Rose Rosetree
It can be hard to give when there is fear.
The media that connect us blast it out.
If Santa felt it, how his sleigh would screech!
You need not be an elf to hear the doubt.
Incessant worries: “Will there be enough
tomorrow? How about months after that?”
Well, let’s remember fear is optional.
The world we live on curves. It isn’t flat.
Sunrises come with regularity
and, in the long view, our world spins with grace.
When a tornado strikes, it hits one house
and spares the block. Each home’s a blessed place.
We can’t anticipate how troubles come,
know how life’s fair, or who has learned from what.
Yet I have lived at Earth School long enough
to know there always is a benefit.
It’s mortal to have fears, to suffer pain,
hate when your comfy rut turns into dust.
But when you buy your gifts this season, know
that you can wrap each single one in trust.

Hi Rose,
Thanks for responding so quickly with your poem! I really enjoyed it and felt it was so needed right now since so many are experiencing really tough times. It’s funny that I just finished a poem of my own reflecting on the times although it is not Christmas related. Enjoy the season!
Kathy
KATHY, thank you.
OF COURSE, we have an open invitation to you and all blog-buddies to post your poems here as “comments.” Whether Christmas related or not, the ultimate response to a poem is another poem.
Ok Rose, here’s my poetic response, even if the two of us are probably the only 2 people left in the world who still appreciate the poetic word.
Remember
by Kathy Wilewski (Lilylady)
When all is dark and fearful
and each step is full of dread and
the road seems uncertain and
storm clouds loom ahead-
Remember-
There is always snow on the mountain and
wind that bends the wheat and
sunflowers in the morning light and
lavender so sweet.
When shadows steal across the landscape of your mind and night is your companion and hope is
hard to find-
remember-
Somewhere crystal waters tumble over rounded rock and in the purple dusk of twilight
a shepherd leads his flock.
And when those storm clouds release their dreaded rain and when there seems no shelter from the ceaseless pain-
remember-
Spring warmth always follows after winter storms and the beauty of the rose includes the prickly thorns -
remember-
All of Life is One,
both the bitter and the sweet and
All’s in perfect order-
It’s only our view that’s incomplete.
All so true, KATHY. This is a lovely reminder. With Deeper Perception, we can go into the experience of any of those positives by reading our own auras, or how our faces change, or safely doing an empath merge (when we have skill).
When STUFF in our auras and/or cellular memory causes the negatives of life to dominate, we can use techniques like cutting cords of attachment or healing frozen blocks with Energy Release Regression Therapy.
What is the practical use of Deeper Perception for dealing with life’s difficulties? Ultimately, as a wise man once said, “We can make a mountain out of a particle, or a particle out of a mountain.”
