Nursing the Pains;The Gift Of Voices

There once was a person… she heard voices. She did much to learn to enjoy the gift and limit the gift and nurse herself. These are some of the ways she did this.

1. Putting a clothe on her forehead.
2. Putting her feet up.
3. Listening to the tones of musical songs even the parts that are hard to hear… like the flutes in the background.
4. Not having berry tea as it caused more voices.
5. Not having too many sweets.

There are ways to approach a problem. One time I thought the problem was all about me… and tried to fix me. One time I thought the problem was all about others and tried to fix them. Sometimes I think there are problems that are a natural part of life. As we accept the struggle and enjoy the good times maybe that’s where I’m at right now.

Quote: “Imagination can be harnessed, or it can be encouraged, or it can be used with time limits and gentle coaching from cookies to children’s books. What things help the imagination to stay uplifted?” Melanie Knapp

Quote: “Courage to speak to those that speak and listen to those that aren’t here is a courage that shows much years of experience or a feeling of joy at the pretending aspects of living.” Melanie Knapp

Quote: “To those that label, or point a finger – look in the mirror first. Because talking or listening to yourself is one of the ways you can get to know yourself and overcome discrimination.”Melanie Knapp

Quote:” There are some times when clarity and connection happens and discrimination falls away, maybe not at all times but in some very pleasant times.” Melanie Knapp

Please read the parts of this blog that speak to you and let the other parts just sit and be here maybe for someone else, maybe for you at a later time or maybe for the writer. Thanks MELANIE KNAPP
