Re-inventing



Who am i again?

i do have trouble with this some~days

i love home~made~toast with imitation peanut butter
in the mornings with a hot cup of tea... so maybe i'll start there...

Perhaps in some ways i get lost sometimes because we are always reinventing ourselves

i believe on a cellular level we do this constantly

Unwell one day and well the next... not impossible, just simple science

Maybe my mistake is in spending too much time in-between?

You know in-between this invention and the next re-invention

In the in-between where ~all~ is possible...

Where there are no problems re-remembering

Where one just ~is~ in full acceptance

Of oneself

The trick is to have a foot in both places. As above, so below.
Knowing who you are in a soul sense, and bringing as much of that through, while playing your role here in the physical.xx♥

Oh Nolly, there is no mistake. It is ALL good. Where ever you are in any second is exactly where you are
and you must love it, as is. You are perfect. Hugs. xoxo

I second Annie's comment...you are exactly where you are supposed to be right at any given moment. Absolutely perfect! xoxo

I'm not sure if I'm still welcome here, so you'll need to let me know. I'm more or less caught up on reading your latest posts, but I don't know what, if anything, I should say.

Dear Snowbrush, Perhaps i may have not expressed myself very clearly on my recent visit to your blog? Sometimes virtual conversations can be tricky due to the lack of facial expression and tone of voice and etc to ascertain sincerity and such (and the Goblins may very well have taken over my brain as they are wont to do sometimes! As you can probably ascertain from this my latest post!) But i will try to be more articulate... The point i was trying to make was that sometimes with matters of Religion you can be (for want of better words) very demanding and exacting... For You religion & Faith are topics of intelligence for the Mind, whereas for many others they are topics of the Heart and Soul (Was my point)... And that if you were going to ask that people should just 'stick to the/your topic' or not comment at all that (i felt) what you were actually asking was that people talk to you about these topics from 'Your' point of view or not at all... And that as a result of such a request that you would get only the very brave and extremist views (that you apparently detest and wondered why you got them) And i felt that (as is your way)in just highlighting portions of a persons comment, that in doing so (at least with this particular subject) that you sometimes actually changed the actual context of a persons comment... Sometimes (i feel and probably unconsciously?) to suit your own point of view, for i often feel that you have missed my general 'point'...

i was perhaps not very articulate (in my comments)on that particular day or you would not feel that i was upset with you... i would hate to think that we could no longer be bloggy friends, but that is up to you... It was just that to me, as to many others with such topics of the Heart there is a lot of emotion involved and because of this i feel there should be more tolerance and that we should all be less the Headmaster and more the student... Luv your Bloggy Mate, Nolly <3

"Perhaps i may have not expressed myself very clearly on my recent visit to your blog?"

I had understood that your primary issue was that you objected to my request that people not tell me that they are praying for me when they visit my blog. I was frankly flabbergasted that you would object so strongly, and in the name of tolerance at that.

"if you were going to ask that people should just 'stick to the/your topic' or not comment at all that (i felt) what you were actually asking was that people talk to you about these topics from 'Your' point of view or not at all..."

I can easily understand why you would have interpreted my request as you did. However, I was referring to the fact that I put a great deal of time and thought into addressing the issues people raise and the questions they ask about religion, whereas my own issues and questions are rarely acknowledged. I have often experienced this with you in particular. Even regarding the post to which you objected, most of the discussion about your issue went on in your absence. I find this extremely frustrating.

"For You religion & Faith are topics of intelligence for the Mind, whereas for many others they are topics of the Heart and Soul..."

I don't believe that religion is ever all heart or all intellect, either for its proponents or its detractors.

In this country--moreso than yours, perhaps--there is ever a battle between people like myself and those who seek to use public institutions to force religion upon the population as a whole. If religion were simply a private matter (whether of heart or intellect, or both), it wouldn't be an issue. I would consider it misguided just as I think tarot cards and astrology (among other things) are misguided, but I would have no reason to actively oppose it.

"And i felt that (as is your way )in just highlighting portions of a persons comment, that in doing so (at least with this particular subject) that you sometimes actually changed the actual context of a persons comment..."

I highlight portions of comments so that the person whom I'm addressing will know what I'm referring to, and so that other readers will know what I'm referring to so that they too can feel included (Oftentimes, I will get a response to a comment I made on someone's blog, and so much time will have elapsed since I made the comment that I won't remember what I wrote). I also do it so that readers will know that I take their thoughts seriously.

I am flattered that a great many readers respond at length to my posts, but I can't respond to every point every person makes, so I pick the ones that strike me as particularly to the point. As it is, I put so much time into responding to comments that it limits the time that I spend visiting other people's blogs.

Love,
Snow

I thought of some things to add.

First, there is no other blogger whom I think of more often or move lovingly than I do you.

Second, I have no thought of ever not being your friend.

Third, it is not important to me that we work through our difficulties. Sometimes, the only thing that two people can do if they want to remain friends is to accept that not everything can be understood or resolved.
