While chatting with a friend this morning, we discovered something together. I was sharing how it always seems that I attract people (including my family) that feel the need to be forth coming with their thoughts.
I said something without thinking or considering what it meant and it was beautiful. I Am the safe space for others to share their truth without fear of judgment. I paused and so did my friend. Wow, I AM the Safe Space for others to Share their truth without fear of judgment.
With all the things that have unfolded in my life lately, I never considered why I seem to be the person for whom people just open up and share their truth no matter what. It’s as though they know that I will not only hear their words, but I will hear them differently. I cannot judge another human being. There is true brilliance in the way that life unfolds and I can see it and I can hear it.
Why can’t I see what sometimes others see? Because I look beyond what is presented and am able to see the genius of the experience in the moment. It doesn’t necessarily mean that I know what it’s all about, it simply means that I know that there’s more and it’s never about what it’s about.
When I shared with my daughter that I could see many changes in the way that my husband moves through his world, she couldn’t see it. When I shared with my husband that our daughter has been changing, he can’t see it. They’re both seemingly seeing only what is right in front of them. A friend that I saw on the weekend said that I have a gift. I have the gift of clearly seeing beyond what is in front of me. I always consider, What Else?
Sometimes what I ’see’ doesn’t always seem like a gift to me. When it comes to my family and they can’t see (or won’t see) beyond what’s in front of them, I feel frustrated. The nice thing is that I can feel frustrated and in the frustration, I know that I stand tall in who I am in the world and I am not alone.
In many ways I believe that I become the invitation for others to truly consider their lives differently and wonder what else is possible in their lives. I AM the Safe Space where others can share the truth of their experience and not fear judgment.
My life isn’t perfect. My way of parenting, isn’t perfect. I’m clearly, not perfect and yet I know that I’m magnificent in many ways. I know that to be my truth. 
Because I am able to see beyond my warts and imperfections, I’m able to see beyond yours. What lies beyond or beneath the warts and imperfections, is pure genius. There’s room to grow and discover what else and what more is possible if you just take a breath and consider what are the things which hold meaning for you.
It has been such an incredible week already and I still ponder what else is possible as the day continues. I don’t really care if it’s sunny. I don’t particularly care if it’s raining. I have nothing to do, but ‘Be.’ In a state of ‘being,’ there is nothing left for me but trusting and knowing, that life always unfolds exactly how it should. In a state of ‘being,’ I know that there is great genius in everthing. In a state of ‘being,’ I live moment to moment – breath to breath and know that anything is possible.
Seeing the genius of – Living in the moment,
Amy
I so appreciate the awareness of looking beyond what is taking place in the moment. Looking at the genius in the moment takes away all judgment and looking beyond expands everyones universe. Very cool!
Yes, I must say that it is too cool to have the awareness of looking beyond what is taking place. You know Amy, I first paid attention to this awareness when you titled one of your CD’s – “Health Beyond Nutrition”…at first I thought, what does this mean?
When I listened to the CD it brought lots of insight for me, way beyond my already healthy state of living!
Amy, you continue to amaze me. The amplification of your words just seems stronger each time I read them here. Beyond your words, it’s the level of the intensity that you are that’s amped up — and I love it. Having said that, is your volume turned up or am I able to hear more than before? Either way, I’m staying tuned for more.
