Mirror Mirror on the wall.....

Good Morning,

The finger that points out, points three back.  

Many Indigenous peoples feel that there are many lifetimes that we will experience. Like a giant wheel, with spokes.  

As we journey from one lifetime to another, we will eventually stand on every spoke. Gaining experience from every life. Taking lessons and a change of perception with us when we cross over.  

To stand on wealth means eventually you will stand on poverty. To stand on happiness, we will eventually have sorrow etc..  

Therefore, we cannot harshly judge the man across from us, because he is us, and you him. It is judging yourself eventually.  

Depending on where you have been who you are and the experiences that you have had up until now, will determine how you will perceive something.  

For instance, many of us have never been homeless, or hungry, and cannot fathom the plight of the poor or homeless. Most of us do know however, how hard it is to ask for help... We don't want to be judged, or criticized for mistakes.  

Many of us will never know the level of need that our path and our circumstances can create in which we have to steal or look for food in the discards of others. Drowning the pain and memories with drugs or alcohol. Over and over, going to the system, a system without compassion, unable to ask for help. Where it's easier to ask a stranger for a buck.

That paints a very different picture?  

That will be me...somewhere, sometime..Maybe even next week.

What would I want to happen?  

It makes it real for us, it makes uscompassionate, because we can better understand.  

Look in the Mirror of those you meet, for the light of the Supreme that lives in you, lives in them also. 

Here is the thought for the day! "Mother Nature is the most brilliant of all artists... A mudpuddle reflects a piece of sky marvelously."
-Marcel Proust
