Learning love

Why is it that the ones closest to us are also the ones who cause us the most pain? We let them in and love them and then in a moment of anger or prejudice everything changes. How is it that we don't allow those we love the most to be human? I have been very blessed to have a blood family and a spiritual family who both know how to step beyond human faults and frailties. The worst pain in my life was when I made decisions that hurt one I care about. He helped both of us step beyond that pain. How he did that, I am still trying to find the words. Love that is so strong and bold yet so humble and tender. I hope to love like that. I hope to carry that lesson with me all my days and always choose to love like that. Thank you uncle. I look forward to the lessons to come but for now I reside happily in the love you have taught and shown. Many blessing.

Welcome

I am not sure what all will unfold on this blog. My life seems to be going in many directions at the moment. I thought that quietly posting some of my thoughts might help to process the blessings in my life. Especially the ones that don't look like blessings at the moment. If you happen across this page I hope that nothing I say offends you. I ask the forgiveness of the ancestors and my elders if any information I share or story I tell is incomplete or incorrect. I am still learning and it is not my intention to do harm. It is my intention to simply share a bit of myself and offer that bit up so that it might be of use to others. Growing in understanding is not always easy but I have learned if I share that growing then the struggle attached to it usually becomes lighter. So for now I say welcome. I will not to spend my first few days catching you up on the history of my life. What I have lived through and experienced has brought me to today. If you meet me here then perhaps we can travel together and get to know one another.
