weekly email will be to share different thoughts and ideas that fit the Meek

WEEKLY PERSPECTIVE
Do you ever think about what defines you? Do you pay attention to how you identify yourself? When you introduce yourself and get to know someone, what do you use as your point of connection?
Today it is important for me to use those things about me which I value as a means of connection. For many years I would use what limited me as a way to introduce myself so that other people wouldn't expect too much of me. The other "benefit" I found was that using my suffering as an identification kept people at a distance from me. The logic was that if no one was too close, than no one could hurt me.
Today it is far more important to feel a sense of connection than to be self-protective. I would much rather take the risk of being hurt and experience the joy of relationships than be defensive and alone. Love, joy, happiness, and freedom involve risk. Allow people to see those aspects of you that are expressions of the miracle of life. You are a physical manifestation of the love and power of the universe.
