Beyond our presumptions, and assumptions lies our greatest liberation.
Don’t envy me.
I have nothing but:
*something to do
and
*something to look forward to.
All else outside of that, I will have to leave preoccupied by you.
Don’t pity me.
You know not of the blessings that have come from my rain or my pain. I’m blessed-I could never be made to feel shame.
Don’t hate on me.
You know of none of the battles that I am fighting and going through.
The things I do to turn my grey skies light-blue.
How I’m livin.’
What (ups) I’ve given.
What (if) of me’s been taken.
My poker face-when I’m really shaken.
I said it once and I’ll say it again to you:
Don’t pity me. Don’t hate on me. And don’t envy me.
I have nothing, but:
*something to do
and
*something to look forward to
All else outside of that, I’ll have to leave you concerned with and preoccupied by you.
In spite everything and all, when I fall, even taller-I stand tall.
I’m blessed, so I can thrive and smile.
I’m blessed-in my shoes, no one can walk 1/3 of a mile.
I have something invaluable…
*something to do
and
*something to look forward to
So allow me to school or liberate you:
As we concern ourselves with that… for you-you can discover this too.
What’s good for me, is also available too:
*something to do
and
*something to look forward to
Don’t pity, hate and envy, NOBODY’cause it ‘don’t serve you!
Some things for which there honestly is no expectation, still deserve an explanation.
Because when we know better, we [have the opportunity and choice to] do better.
People have the function of personal integrity, selflessness, spirituality and the act of spiritual gratitude all twisted sometimes. It’s a silent way of paying it forward.
Paying forward is praying it (going forward)…
We are all spiritual beings (in spite of how deep some of us delve into us, as compared to others with themselves).
As spiritual beings, we are like vessels: recipients of blood and oxygen to ensure functionality.
The spiritual thing about being “vessels” is that, like the literal vessel; we cannot see it-but it thrives because of some THING that makes it function:
Oxygen.
Air.
The element of air is: freedom.
Air is unseen but it is felt.
It is able to fill up any container that holds it, but it needs to expand indefinitely…
As a spiritual vessel, anything in life commands your: attendance, your affection, or your attention for any amount of time in which you have been:
• ennobled
• encouraged
• inspired
• motivated to do
• motivated to be
• motivated to have
Do not stunt its growth by:
• being spiteful to it
• stifling it
• suffocating it
• sequestering it
…ESPECIALLY if it does not cost you anything outside of a little bit of personal integrity and spiritual gratitude. Anything outside of that is merely sententious.
That is not “love.”
That is not selflessness.
It is quite the opposite…
Let me give you an example of “personal integrity” (for which the reward of reciprocity is spiritual gratuity).
Personal integrity is a little bit like this VERY POWERFUL scene at the 3:00-3:39 point where you can see Mister over in the field watching Nettie reuniting Celie with her kids and herself.
Towards the end of the movie, this union was all made possible by way of Mister doing the right thing: going to the Immigration Department and releasing all that he held onto: spiting, stifling, suffocating and sequestering Celie-all those years.
It cost him nothing but a little bit of personal integrity to take that walk to the Immigration Department in order for another human being to breathe again; a whole new breath of life that she had been sequestered from…
So whether it be the wrong that you may feel someone has done to you or because of the wrong that you are holding onto out of spite for another person.
Or just the same-it may very well be the “right” that someone is doing for you in the form of:
• ennobling you
• encouraging you
• inspiring you
• motivating you to do
• motivating you to be
• motivating you to have
DO NOT:
• spite them
• stifle them
• suffocate them
• sequester them
Spiritual gratitude is just a thing we do (in silent) even if [like Mister; watching from across the way-we do it without ever having to say: “I did this or that or this for you”].
It is an act of doing rather than withholding and spiting, stifling, suffocating and sequestering.
The beautiful thing about it all is that it is as free as the air we breathe and never costs us one dime in order to do so.
Personal integrity and spiritual gratuity is: what it does.
So make it dew, what it do: what it’s due.
And allow all deeds (done or undone) be between you and the Karma Gods.
I’m always so thankful, appreciative and grateful, that, one joy fits all: from waking to the sound of a bird chirping; a climb, a fall, that great beneficial call.
It’s all the same.
I never cry or complain.
But today, I cried. And asked in the Creator’s name:
“Continue to shield me from the all and every that I see-is nothing but perilous to me. Keep my head, my heart and my hands aligned, and in line, with my feet forward-going forward…Please.”
Today I cried with the rain outside.
Today, I cried like the rain outside.
Usually the big girl who asks for nothing, just enjoys the ride.
Today though, I put my foot on the brake, and I cried.
