Love isn’t  being nice to everyone. Love isn’t letting the world use you as a doormat. Love doesn’t mean that everyone will like you. Sometimes the greatest acts of love cut to the deepest place, and can change you forever. And that’s ok. Love isn’t ice cream on a cone, or sweet flowers in a vase. Love is a goodbye, when hellos are holding you back Or you suddenly hear your own lie. Love is an ear, when the mouth wants to move. Love is seeing you, without needing to see myself. Love isn’t a complicated thing, It’s all in the heart,  Opening wide - and suddenly expands… Creating a new star. Love is expansion Holding within it’s own self the possibility of everything.

O ne evening a grandson was talking to his grandmother about current events. The grandson asked his grandmother what she thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general. The Grandma replied, "Well, let me think a minute. I was born before television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill. There were no credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens. Man had not invented pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and man had yet to walk on the moon. Your Grandfather and I got married first and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir"- - and after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir". We were before gay-rights, computer-dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the...

Thomas A. Harris in his book, "I'm OK--You're Ok," says that all people are structurally alike in that everyone has a Parent, an Adult, and a Child. He points out that we differ in two ways.We differ in the content of Parent, Adult, and Child, which it is unique to each person, and we differ in the functioning of the Parent, Adult, and Child. There are two kinds of functional problems: contamination and exclusion. These three ego states should stay separated which is ideal. Diagram of three ego states overlapped. The overlap as shown above is contamination of the Adult by dated, unexamined Parent data which is externalized as true. This is called prejudice. For instance, beliefs such as "white skins is better than black skins," "right-handedness is better than left-handedness," and "cops are bad" are externalized in transactions on the bases of prejudgment, before reality data (Adult) is applied to them Prejudice develops in early childho...

Life Vest Inside - 

A policeman was heading home after a long, hard day on patrol. He had dealt with a whole succession of difficult people, and a mountain of frustrating paperwork. All he wanted at this point was to kick back, unwind, enjoy some peace and quiet, and maybe watch a few innings of baseball on TV. But, as he neared home, he was startled by a vehicle that came careening around a sharp curve and narrowly missed his squad car. As the car passed within a few inches of him, the other driver shouted “Pig!” The police officer was suddenly energized. He slammed on brakes, all set to turn his squad car around and head off in hot pursuit. But as he rounded the curve, … he ran head-on into a large pig that was standing in the middle of the road! It’s a lesson we learn early in life if we’re lucky: don’t assume! No matter how confident we are in our understanding of the issue. No matter how certain of another’s reasoning or motives. No matter how obvious the point may be to us. Effective communication i...
