An Early Morning Flash

     At 3:15 A.M. I saw one great flash of light cross between the two ornamental pear trees in my NOLA back yard. I have been re-reading Peter and the Star Catchers by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. Peter Pan's life story is explored in this fictional back story of a childhood favorite. Peter, is a Watcher. He is able to know when this great wisdom will fall from the sky in the form of magical stardust. I watched, waited, and felt the stillness. 

     Watching the night sky, while listening to our pond water feature was an excellent way to wait for Mother Nature's fireworks.  I have spent a great deal of my life waiting, watching, hoping that this or that would happen. Somehow I have believed that I make the magic. As I watched the magic flash across the sky at 3 A.M., I realized that the real magic lies in the watching.

     Everyday there are so many miracles flashing across the sky of my mind, I don't always give these events the necessary attention. I am daily inspired with lightening flashes. When I sit still enough, I am able to hear and see these creative sparks. 

     Who am I that I should see these events? Who am I not to be?

       Marianne Wiliamson's famous quote comes to mind:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
