Bus Riding and Sunglasses

The past summer months have taught me a lesson about spirit. I have become more consciously aware of the influences of the spirit all around me. It has been an awareness I have known at numerous times of my life, though until the year where I have devoted myself to the inner visions (thank you Stevie) of the essence of life and spirit of consciousness, now more than ever, I understand the spirit within and all around me. This spirit within us is spreading out to others all around us. We share this light and all are connected to us regardless of the space within which we share.

A while back I would wear my sunglasses to shade others from seeing my eyes. I began to realize how easily people could see into my soul; how at one glance I am an open book of truth and light that through my eyes I allow others to read the series of novels of my life.

It can sometimes be a dangerous or treacherous adventure, because of the potentially harmful and unsafe environments I sometimes find myself within. Riding the lucky number 7 at 2:30 in the morning, when the few companion’s minds have been predominantly influenced by crack, alcohol and/or starvation. Fortunately not only my sixth sense can deter me from their unconscious being and shelter my sensitive consciousness from being impacted by their presence.

As I literally do yoga in the streets- waiting for the bus, I spread my arms wide to the sky above me, embracing the light above my head and breathing deeply enjoying this beautiful connection to the spirit, I know that I may look like a crazy person. Some people pass by and smile at me, others have this concerned look like “what the hell is she doing?!” and others laugh or honk as a ridicule.

The reaction of others are okay with me: as for how I feel about other people’s perceptions in my life, I no longer need approval for the way that I am. I learned this lesson back when I was in junior high. There is an intense social system trying to impact how I am “supposed” to interact with others, how to “fit-in” socially. In some ways it wants to govern how I am able to share my inner light with others, or how I personally feel about myself, because of the acceptance of others. Oftentimes, some may not understand other’s ways of being, creative expressionism, or simply their style. The initial perception is based solely on one’s appearance, then actions, speech and thereafter interactions with others, but if we have not taken the time to communicate amongst each other, prejudegements miss the inner being of a person.

I know that I live my life I have maintained connection to the spirit which guides me throughout life, no other person can understand this unless there is complete compassion, nonjudgement, and acceptance in the truest and most unconditional love.

Light shining from the sky above me, clouds surrounding the entire day, but as I embrace the consciousness, it seems that the skies open up and I am constantly surrounded by the light. Thank you for shining all over me, he once said. Go towards the light, for when you are in the light, there is no darkness. I keep you with me always as I have been sharing light and love from a far though I know you are with me always.
