Some Things I Believe

For example; 

1)  I beleive that resistance is the opposite to acceptance.  As hard as I find somethings to accept, I find resistance to be so tiring, exhausting even.  When I get so tired of resisting I usually accept and when I do things usually turn out better than I had anticipated.

2)  I believe that real love and affection never dies; sometimes it gets buried under life's struggles and happenings.  But like seeds buried in tombs for many centuries, when brought back into sunlight and fertile soil it grows and blooms again.

3)  I believe we are given the children that we need, so we can learn and grow from the experiences they bring into our live, even the painful ones, perhaps especially the painful ones.

4)  I believe in genetic or cellular memory.  I think that stored in our genes and/or cells are memories of many, many generations that preceded us.

5)  I believe that all cliches have some merit; such as "Get Off My Back" "Your A Pain In The Neck".  After a particularally difficult time in my life that followed a long, drawn out death of a partner.  I was experiencing such back, neck, and shoulder pain that I was going to see my Dr.  when a friend of mine smiled as  I told him about my pain and said "What have you been carrying around your neck, on your shoulders and on your back for the past two years"?  In that moment I understood these cliches and within hours the pain began to disappear.

6)  I believe that I am still capable of still learning even though I am 70 Something, perhaps especially because I am 70 something.
