Beloveds,
When someone offers you
their trust
and seeks your counsel,
regarding a difficult situation,
try not to say
" I think it was your fault".
They may have been honestly
seeking understanding.
They may have come to you
looking for support so they
could be a better person.
Once we assign blame,
communications often break down
and it becomes harder to
create a win, win resolution.
Today, try to truly listen
with compassion.
Be a builder of bridges,
not a breaker of hearts!

Assigning Blame
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
