Circumstances

"Few are those who see with their
own eyes and feel with their own hearts . . ."
- Albert Einstein

Circumstances . . . this thing called l-i-f-e . . . really has a way of catching us off-guard at times, doesn't it? It isn't as if we wake up one day making the conscious effort to make certain decisions that will ultimately change our current paths forever. No! Life is much more subtle than that. Life is a jokester - an imp - a scamp that takes delight in steering our well-laid plans off course and into uncharted territories.

"Sometimes what seems like surrender
isn't surrender at all. It's about what's
going on in our hearts. About seeing
clearly the way life is and accepting it
and being true to it, whatever the pain,
because the pain of not being true to it
is far, far greater."
- Nicholas Evans

Why do we feel it is necessary to fight against what our hearts have to say? Often, our so-called rational thinking isn't really rational at all; it is merely fear shouting louder than the whispers of the heart and soul. And, those whispers are the only truth we may ever truly hear.

"I trust so much in the power of the heart
and the soul; I know that the answer to what
we need to do next is in our own hearts.
All we have to do is listen, then take that one step
further and trust what we hear.
We will be taught what we need to learn."
- Melody Beattie

But, how do you convince others that they should listen to the whispers, too?

current mood: a little sad, a little confused,
but still listening for the whispers of the heart and soul

This Author's Profile

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
