End of story. Act...The pig kicks, the piglet moves. End of story. Action and reaction. We do something and we have the luxury of relating it to others in our life, the world, the stars in the sky and everything, and give it meaning. But things just happen and it's probably best to choose the meaning that works best for everyone, especially oneself. Feelings come and go but they are only guides to locating ourselves in the world of people.

I can be angry and not be...My point exactly RD!!... I can be angry and not be present, I can also be 100% present and angry as hell! Expressing anger does not automatically mean one is not present... and I for one am tired of this being used as a new agey accusation, smoke and mirrors of veiled blame, blaming others for blaming. It is so confusing it makes the mind spin.. and I suspect that this is the point because it is a crafty (usually unconscious) method of not accepting responsibility for ones actions. Anger, especially in the Feminine has been suppressed for way too long. Womyn are not suppose to get angry and men are not suppose to cry... these two unconscious beliefs are causing so much conflict and grief<3Magdelene ~ Lover, Mother, Mystichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130333217424478940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-41483984550443816302011-01-01T20:32:37.991-08:002011-01-01T20:32:37.991-08:00Oh, to answer your question ... being angry is not...Oh, to answer your question ... being angry is not "loosing your presence" ... loosing your presence is loosing your presence ... be present with the anger, it is you stepping out ... the anger is not making you do it :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Rhythmic DancerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-26859645253033344832011-01-01T20:27:50.791-08:002011-01-01T20:27:50.791-08:00Maybe you can hand the planning over to your kids ...Maybe you can hand the planning over to your kids for a day ... and do your best to not intervene and really let them follow their own plan, no matter how much it falls apart ... it is amazing how kids function sometimes ... they tend to let things go more easily than we do ... so even when things aren't working out according to plan it isn't really a problem for them ... they just adjust the plan. I watch the kids I teach do this, it's amazing :)<br /><br />Also ... give yourself a 30 minute time out every day, whether you feel you need it or not, so you feel like you are being taken care of. <br /><br />Rhythmic Dancer :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-7575375448275429512011-01-01T17:10:16.609-08:002011-01-01T17:10:16.609-08:00Many times I handle things calmly, do just as Anon...Many times I handle things calmly, do just as Anon. suggested and things dissolve. And this time I may have been able to do this too, but I didn't. Maybe because there wasn't really a second to be had in this particular situation, maybe because I was hurting over something else which I didn't realize was causing me pain, and transferred my frustration to the present occurances, maybe... there are a bunch of maybes'. The dynamic I am speaking of here is a common one for mothers. I remember asking someone once if the mother pig is "wrong" when she kicked at her piglets when she had finally had enough of them nursing? Children rely on their mothers, and little by little they each let go, but this slow letting go does not always happen on the same timetable for mother and child. Mothers are often pushed, I see it in my life and in my friends lives. I wonder how this would have effect Ekhart's POV and subsequent teachings had he experienced being a mother? He is not "wrong", he is quite amazing, but he is also a he. He can never know what it is like to be a womyn. Is the mother pig who decides she has had enough too in the past, too in her fears, and this is why she kicks? Is she sad and bitter from thinking about litters gone past and how they made her teats all long and stretched out and this is why she kicks? or is there a need for a strong voice in the now when boundaries are crossing. Presence can sometimes come in the form of "I have had enough". I do not believe my loved ones want to "make me angry", I do know that part of my job as a mother (and wife) are to let my family know when I am uncomfortable with how much they are needing from me, and I bet many mothers and fathers will agree that just because it is spoken, just because a boundary is established this doesn't mean it is understood or respected... so what do we do then? With children the answer is not so cut and dry... just ask the mama pig. <br /><br />Oh and whoever you are anonymous...

I don't think anyone who loves us really wants to make us angry, just seems like we think that way...again a programed response...love you BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-86281338280741614592011-01-01T15:10:25.894-08:002011-01-01T15:10:25.894-08:00I like Werner Erhard's quote "So what?&qu...I like Werner Erhard's quote "So what?". If that doesn't work I go to Erhart Tolle. I like this one for instance: "Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are cause by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence" -Anthonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123460635103303488.post-33788370035004247992011-01-01T14:52:11.729-08:002011-01-01T14:52:11.729-08:00I am glad that my head is still attached to my nec...I am glad that my head is still attached to my neck and shoulders.
