Plucked Them Right Out Of My Head


















I was just minding my own business like I usually am har har, when I came across a blog entitled Transcript of a Significant Life (http://raihndrops.blogspot.com), where the lady (Lisa) took many of my beliefs and plucked them right out of my head. I asked Lisa if I could reprint them here and she said that would be fine.

Authentic Knowing

living is different to being alive
guiding is different to leading
curing is different to healing
making is different to creating
desperation is not faith
faith is not blind
hierarchy amongst realms is a fallacy
hierarchy amongst humanity is a lie
there is always choice
letting go is the greatest proof of love there is
energy is energy, perception of energy is what differs
sadness is not depression
some questions have no answers
with possession comes responsibility
no two humans alive on this planet share the same definition of normal
angels, ascended masters, gods, goddesses, guides are all aspects of the
ONE divine source
losing is not failing
transition is not death
religion is not spirituality
religion is not faith
you are not me
knowledge is not wisdom
i am that i am

I just enjoyed a lovely 30 minutes or so reading your blog.
The whole clepto art stealing thing cracked me up. I like the idea that you are adding artist's names.
No fuzziness in your brain, Renee.
You are a brilliant woman.
Thanks for posting Lisa's list. I'll be stealing it and posting it on my fridge.
Lots of Love,
Ronnie

"minding my own business" yep - me too! I love Lisa's verse thanks for posting it! I'll read it again after I've had a cup of coffee.

"letting go is the greatest proof of love there is" that hit me right between the eyes. wow, don't I know it. Thank you Lisa for summing it up so beautifully.
I'm still chewing on the golden nuggets of wisdom and insight you shared with me during our long overdue visit yesterday. I'm putting the camera down...
You change the way I live my life Mrs.Khan, always for the better. I love the way you think and feel and I so deeply love who you are. xoxo

Renee...thank you for posting this piece. It is wonderful! And very....soulful! I love it!

love audrey

Rosaria Williams said...

It is a striking rod, shaking off one cliche after another. I'm Not surprised that you were affected by it. You are done with old tired answers. The poem reflects it.

I agree Renee, our writing is very similar in style. I think it is born of authenticity as well as a shared path. I also wish you, Daria, myself...the world could be rid of cancer. It is shocking how a disease can strip a person of their sense of self. Suddenly, we need to become someone we never knew existed - a fighter/survivor/thriver...whatever the current lingo is.

Tonight, I am having dinner with a much loved friend who is visiting from Wpg. I shall raise a glass of red wine to you, my dear friend.
Love, audrey

I recently worked on my Personal Directive, and one of the points is that, when we know the end in imminent, I want my close friends and family to join me in raising a glass of wine, sharing memories and how much we love each other. Friends who are in other countries will be "skyped" in, so that we can all have that glass together. I am clear in that I don't want those closest to me saying goodbye when I can't hear them - it needs to be while I am alive and can have a glass. Or a bottle!

Sarah Sullivan said...

I popped into her blog and requested - thank you for sharing this!!!
I'm so glad you like my dragon! I adore doing eyes - they are my favorite part of any piece - they set the tone I think! Lots of practice - lol.

pluck pluck pluck!!! it's that tapping into the universal voice we don't always hear, or choose to listen to, but amen sisters!! So very beautifully said. Thanks to you both for speaking truth - loud and clear.

Karin Bartimole said...

Renee, you are the best - truly!! Thanks for all your loving support, amazing humor, great insights - your Allness!! I feel your embrace, and as long as we can get all these great folks up on that pedestal with us, I'm all for staying up there :)
I love you,
❤ Karin

Emerald Arts said...

Very interesting. Agree with everything except the point on energy, since it's measurable... but we'll leave my science out of it :P

Every Photo Tells A Story said...

Indeed, some great thoughts, Renee:) Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. This is the hardest for me, but I do try!

"letting go is the greatest proof of love there is"

Sleep tight!

A powerful verse!

Anna Lefler said...

That's beautiful! And I love your new banner art - wow!

BTW, I just noticed that I'm not following your blog yet?!?! How is that possible? I think I'm maxed out at the 200 limit, but I'm going to unfollow someone and come right back, ok?

Also - thanks for going to BlogHer to vote! It's not really clear, is it? If the link doesn't show, I think it means you have to register with BlogHer - not to attend the conference - but just with their website. It's free but I'll totally understand if you don't want to deal...really. Thanks for trying!

XOXO

Oh, I love these words. Yeah I agree also!
Thanks so much Renee, for your comments left on my blog!
A BIG SMILY FACE SENT TO YOU!

Wow!!!

Cheryl Cato said...

How did I miss this yesterday? I need to ponder some of these.
"losing is not failing" - how true, perhaps trying is winning.
"knowledge is not wisdom" - someone may have knowledge, but not the wisdom to use it
"living is different to being alive" - living beats existing
"there is always a choice" - even in little things
"letting go is the greatest proof of love" - I'm sure parents experience this with their children

Authentic Knowing - what great thoughts.

Hello, my Angel,
Have you noticed, that when your heart and eyes are open, you see the angels all around you? I've started noticing that this year. I've been finding angels everywhere I look. Before this year, I hardly noticed them at all, even though they were probably always there.

This post rocks.
