I woke up having these thoughts about what a gift it is to find people that resonate with us. When people read something I’ve written, or watch something that I made and feel connected to me. To help someone else feel encouraged or feel common ground it’s a kind of magic. It’s like we are magnets pulled across the universe to each other.
Oh, I just got an image of that- It’s like two streams of sparkly golden dust coming from far away, traveling towards each other, a beautiful image of reunion.
Let’s talk about social media-
Sometimes it seems a bit excessive to have so many facebook “friends”. Like, it’s just impossible to be friends with such a number. But it’s opportunities for attraction and repulsion. Each post, even if it’s just a silly meme is an opportunity for whoever sees it to reafirm their level of relatability to it.
I feel like I’m talking a bit clinically and oddly. Thoughts are like that. But the more I try to fit my thoughts into neat boxes and be as polished as possible, the more another part of me rejects that and longs to be free and will find reasons to not write at all. I’m a busy mom trying to do a lot of things so what I am able to do is what I am able to do.
Anyway.
Connections. Resonations.
I think we should be more curious about that. Not just surface level curious but actually willing to reach out and chat. To investigate why there is a pull. To video chat or meet in real life if possible and share values and struggles and dreams and see if there is a deeper reason you are being led together.
I connected with someone recently who has similar gifts to me- helping people with their blocks. But she said that she heard once, It’s hard to see the jam label from inside the jar. Our gifts are for each other!
There is so much release in saying, not with finality and defeat, but with hope and determination, I don’t see the way forward with this thing. What do you see? What am I missing? There is so much joy in sharing your gifts and the change you want to see in the world. Each time you say it, it comes out stronger. Better words and comprehension come out. There is so much joy when two hearts realize they want to see the same change in the world, and being together,when once they were strangers, they are closer to seeing that change.
Thank you for reading my long run on sentances and feeling what I’m saying. I’m so glad you are here and I hope we can connect if the magnet in your heart is being drawn to the magnet in mine.
