'Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there.' Rumi ~
In our early days, Tim and I made a pact of never having blame enter our loving bubble. We would stand together and face whatever happened with a united front, creating a 'no blame' home.
We found the painting pictured above, and it hangs above our bed and makes us smile often.
This week has been an interesting one and another's choices could have cast a shadow over our crop of happy sunflowers and certainly introduced weeds into our field. One evening, sitting on the sofa and looking out across our raised rose bed, where the bushes are bursting into life and the bulbs are coming up, we made a decision. It settled a drama quickly and quietly and gave us peace to touch our inner calm. A light breeze passed over the sunflowers and no lasting harm was done.
Some people choose to live creating dramas as if life is all one big competition, and we find that kind of energy exhausting. We always have a choice on whether we dive into a drama, take offence, and carry upset forward into a new moment. We choose what we focus on and undoubtedly, the energy we create makes more of what we are putting our attention into.
We thrive when our sunflowers thrive. 🌻
Beautifully said Jane.... Often times its other peoples drama's which encroach into our own energy space trying to cause discord ... Seeing through them, and choosing to focus upon your own inner calm and pathway, brings balance... Like those beautiful Sunflower heads standing proud facing the LIGHT.. xx 💖 Much love dear Jane xx
Easy to blame (judgement), harder to take responsibility (guilt shame), even harder to share responsibility (forgiveness, non-duality)
Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day ...
Beautiful Jane. Life is grand if we can walk away from the drama. MY UB <3 xoxo

I don't know why some people go out of their way to seek drama. I try to do the opposite. Life is so much simpler that way.
