Have you stopped trying to achieve something in some “non-significant” area of life because you were once told these weren’t important enough to warrant attention? Only you know and can ultimately say what warrants your attention. I want to stress that we not judge ourselves or others by the appearance of time worthiness and that we are not to judge ourselves by the opinions of others – especially those who have their own agendas on our lives. As one woman put it, “it’s not a matter of being worthy of my time; it’s a matter of partnering with the energy that generates time.” I have discovered that in order to stop getting caught up in the chaos of time, we have to forgive ourselves every time it happens. I have also discovered that playing in life as a child keeps me out of the confusion of warp speed communications. I leisurely walk through the grotto each morning, acknowledging the birds and animals I meet, and then I go to work. Time, I have discovered, is created each morning and if I am dedicated to my practice and prayers, the day provides all the time I need. I have seen myself complete enough tasks, that one might wonder how one person could manage it. I’ve learned to live by energy, which frees time for adventurous moments. My life acumen has been such as to love unconditionally beyond time. There have been some episodes where memory has dropped out of time and many unexplainable things have happened. We want to travel! My breathing stops, and I try to explain in my most mainstream verbiage. Somehow, people endeavor to meet me halfway, and seem satisfied with my narratives. People who get caught up in time admit that they would feel selfish if they truly took time to do what they want to do. This attitude is a throwback to society dominating, sometimes brutalizing lessons have demonstrated that we are severely under loved, competitive or punitive. We have been subjected to ridicule for our creative efforts, for trying to be uniquely who we are. This leaves us with corrosive guilt. I never think about time much – everything is scheduled with love in my day.
After taking many small glances at my life as it actually was, I came slowly to grips with what I had to do. I suddenly realized that at the very least I had to make life mine – I had to live my time in order. The ability to love ourselves and make our lives count is the key role of being generous with our love. It’s important that we are loving.
