Going Beyond

Birds of a feather tend to flock together. And people do, too. But what happens when that's all we ever do? We become part of the status-quo. Just part of the flock. While it is true that there is nothing we must become and that we are already complete, that doesn't mean we see everything we actually are. We don't. And that is the source of our unrest, our endless searching. While it is indeed already all there, it is also true that there is much still needing to be uncovered. Yes - It's there, but we have yet to see it fully. Still, now and again, one of us sees something peeking out from around the edges. They have a bigger thought, a broader view - perhaps completely out of line with what everyone else is doing. What happens when this new idea is acted upon, instead of remaining with the flock and continuing to do what everyone else is doing? You get the Woodpecker Finch of the Galapagos Islands, who uses a cactus spine or twig to probe in to tiny holes and cracks for insect grubs. You get Phalaropes, who spin rapidly like a top while sitting on the water, creating a whirlpool which sucks tiny plankton to the surface, which they pick up with their long, narrow bill. You get crows/ravens that drop hard-shelled nuts into traffic so that it gets run over, breaking the shell and allowing them an easy feast. When you explore what is peeking out from around the edges, you become One Who Sees Beyond - One who does not limit themselves. One who thinks outside of the box. Are you that One? In Truth, we all are. But are you that One TODAY, in this moment? Be that One. For when you rise, all rise with you. So, those of you who see deeper within yourselves, go there, following what you inexplicably know, and gently raising the bar so all may more easily follow. Looks like we're in for a pretty sunset tonight. Who would like to jump off their branch and fly with me? Peace, Love and Light~ unASLEEP
