Belonging
  reprinted with permission from:   Walking Flower:  a blossoming of consciousness  , Sherman, 2005, pg.5.

I belong with you- I know so

It was told me in a dream.

And when the truth revealed itself,

My most ancient heart became serene.

My center it felt peaceful.

As I heard this truth be spoken.

For until that moment precious

The spokes of this pure heart felt

incomplete and broken.

The thought of being yours

And belonging for one brief measure

Brought into my heart’s deepest core

A joy and fearfulness beyond all pleasure.

For I have never belonged with another from the passage of my birth.

And try as I may to give of myself

A complete connection still did thirst.

But now I know the feeling

Of being Whole,

Profound,

Complete.

As I discover the balance of my soul resides

Within the form that dwells

From the top of Your head

To the souls of Your feet. - MPHS

Thoughts on Belonging
One of the hardest things to accomplish in this lifetime is knowing where you belong. I realize many people are happy where they are or have landed, but as humans,we each have experienced feeling excluded, dismissed, ignored, or worse. The confusion as to where we each belong is one of the great existential paradoxes our minds wrestle with. It is precisely this confusion that precedes the achievement of clarity. There are steps we each must take to decide if we belong.

Do we belong to our family of origin or, are we the lone sparkle that everyone else loved while disparaging one another?

Do we belong to a school, book club, community center, religious or political group, country, planet, solar system, universe, multiverse, etc.

Do we belong in this lifetime?

Do we belong in this relationship?

You get the picture.

Belonging is an important survival mechanism for human beings. And so, we obsess about it in ways that stress us out and fuel our hunger to belong. Fit in. Be relevant.

To feel relevant, we must know who we are and what gifts we bring to the table.Once we are comfortable with our unique brand of power we can decide where and with whom we belong.

We belong wherever we dwell- once we understand that, embracing our eccentric tendencies poises us for great success.

Own it. Strut it. Enjoy it.

Self- appreciation is the soil where genuine Self- Confidence can take root and flower as a Masterpiece of Humanity through the alchemy of self-wisdom.
