The spirit - a very liberated servant and genteel partner

Set spirit free and it remains at one’s beck and call- obligingly. Give spirit a chance to direct the course of intention and mind receives just what it yearns- an extended holiday so it doesn’t have to work its tail off on empty

I recall the many times my brain just lay in waiting for Life to drill me, boss me around and tell me how to do what to do and Spirit just waited patiently providing that there was no emergency before I get its message. There are times I felt challenged when figuring out who is waiting for whom. It took much patience, gentleness and determination to discern the difference. This is how I learn to both trust it and trust myself and commit to my personal agreement its definition of teamwork

Sometime I feel that spirit is up to something naughty when it appears as though I am having my way and it smiles and says, “gotcha!

It uses me to get out of my way and its way. I used to not like when it does that. With more dots along the way I began to get it!

It is like it is saying to me step aside and gimme a chance to show you what is in store for you before it ends up in heaven-on-earth jumble sale.

I got to hand it to the spirit. It also is one tough cookie and it continues to teach me the need to be unshakable when it is helping me push against and right through walls just the branches of trees growing right through around barricades

Spirit - a very liberated servant and genteel partner…can’t do without it, can’t be without it!
Jesus’ disciples would call this message a parable. Jesus would not necessarily respond to their querying minds, he would just let them figure it out each on his own time and semantics
