SPRAY ME..GONE FISHIN
THE FUNNY THING IS…
I am out here fishin, catchen up with me
and I see all that I have become.
I see how the barbed wire starts to cut my skin
But this time I brought wire cutters
and I don’t blame anyone for the wire
or the cutting
I just see where I am and that I needed the wire
cutters
Next time I won’t fish in waters with barbed wire
(I HOPE)
It’s just what ‘I’ attracted
CAUSE I DO IT ALL
I LOVE MY MISTAKES
AND I LOVE MY SUCCESSES
and I am expanding
and it is all ‘good’
cause I made it
and I feel love
and I am not afraid to
love again.
and again.
till I no longer attract situations that
used to baffel me..
THE PROMISES FROM ANY 12 STEP PROGRAM IN THE WORLD
“If we are painstaking about this phase of our development, (conscious thinking and accepting responsibility for our lives) we will be amazed before we are half way through. We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it. We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace. No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others. That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear. We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Self-seeking will slip away. Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change. Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us. We will intuitively know how to handle situations that used to baffle us. We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could do for ourselves. Are these extravagant promises? We think not. They are being fulfilled among us—sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we work for them.” (Alcoholics Anonymous, the Big Book)
I have always loved the above statement.. and for me it is my higher self/Source that I choose to call God.. but it is a force of connection that when I am connected.. I can see clearly that I am the person who chooses thoughts that make me feel good or not and therefore I truly am the one who chooses my own happiness and no one outside myself can ‘DO IT TO ME*’
I HAVE ATTRACTED EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IN MY LIFE AND I CAN EITHER SAY TO ME..
‘wow that was a mistake Linaji.. why not be easy next time and accept that you want your whole life to be HAPPY JOYOUS AND FREE.’
AND SO IT IS
EVEN IN THE CONTRAST
I MAKE DECISIONS FOR A BETTER WAY OF CHOOSING.

Judi Taylor
You know you are killing me and loving me at the same time.
linaji replied
SOMTIMES.. WE GOT TO KILL OFF WHAT DOES NOT WORK… but you know.. it all worked cause we arrive at new conclusions on how to choose and live and be.. that is why there never is any mistakes.. just choices we realize are not for us anymore. It is gentle and not cut and dry and ruthless.. it is about loving self as we would love others.. first find a way to be easy on one’s self and then we find it so much easier to love the others.. STAY IN YOUR OWN PIE!!! tee hee.. LOVE YOU MS. JUDI TAYLOR!

I think that is one of the hardest things to accept. The no blaming…..
I’ve a blowtorch…..you’ve wire cutters.
Our symmetry is not only serendipitous it is absolutely mind blowing. If you come across one in a dingy, you want to give me a ride.
Powerful image…powerful journey.
xxxxx
linaji replied
Yes it is.. in my case.. there are moments that you could say I am faking it. but when You start by faking it and then you see that it just becomes so easy to accept that you are the creator of everything.. you are no longer a leaf in the wind.. remember this one? just learning if I am creator.. than I can choose better stories for myself. Like stories that say I can have all that I desire and not have to work hard nor seek anything. that when I keep my vibration vibrant as in appreciation and anticipation and feeling the love I would like in return, I can just look right and see blue/green eyes that can melt any heart and a mind that is so expansive and so observant.. full of amazing humor do I not know this stuff of what I speaK IS TRUE.. look at what is in my life so quickly I don’t have time hardly to say goodbye.. This is fast stuff as we embrace our ability to be CREATORS.. JUST LIKE YOUR WORDS AND PAPER.. well screen. We are so powerful we can choose ways everyday to allow our lives to be everything we want them to be.. look around for the proof instead of the lies.. YOU ARE PROOF IN THE PUDDING MY DARLING. XXXXXXX

Wow Lina, I love these sailing images. It makes me feel like I’m on an adventure on the high seas. I feel the splash of the cold sea water on my exposed arms and face, I lick my lips and taste the sea. I am swaying from side to side in rhythm with movement of the boat.
