at its finest"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Monday January 26, 2009\u00a0 <em>New Moon &#8211; Solar Eclipse &#8211; Chinese New Year<\/em> I began celebrating early last night by cutting scallions for a vegetable stirfry.\u00a0 Only a week ago my brother read my blog post talking about how I chop vegetables every day for my big salads.\u00a0 He emailed me to be careful not to cut myself, so last night I did a good slice on my left index finger.\u00a0 So thanks for helping me pre-pave this joint creation!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nNah, I can\u2019t blame Brothermine for my paw karma in this lifetime, and I\u2019ve learned to type with all combinations of fingers anyway.\u00a0 But it made me wonder about what pre-paving I am unconsciously doing for friends and family.\u00a0 What joint co-creation are we mutually engaged in?<\/p>\n<p>Do I see them in the best light possible?\u00a0 Do I see them having their act together and being self sufficient and happy in their relationships and jobs?<\/p>\n<p>Or do I constantly worry if they are doing the right thing and making the right choices and hanging with the right people and eating the right foods, etc?<\/p>\n<p>Do I worry that Debbie will lose yet another job because she can never get to work on time?\u00a0 Do I pre-pave that for her?<\/p>\n<p>Do I worry that my friend took out a life insurance policy on her mother and has anger management issues with her ?\u00a0 What am I pre-paving for them?<\/p>\n<p>Do I worry that another\u00a0 friend\u2019s husband has been living in China the last 10 years with another woman and has a child with her and is trying to get my friend to sign agreements that are incomplete, inaccurate and unfair.\u00a0 What am I pre-paving when I think about them?<\/p>\n<p>Do I just worry, repeatedly envisioning the scariest, worst case scenarios?\u00a0 Or do I realize the truth of the matter:<\/p>\n<p>That the people I know are pretty smart.\u00a0 If I think something needs to be brought to someone \u2018s attention, I will do so.\u00a0 They can make their own logical and informed choices after that.\u00a0 I don\u2019t need to give any more thought to the matter than that.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s neither useful\u00a0 nor helpful for me to give the matter any more thought than that, unless I want to add to the tension of an already intense thoughtform.<\/p>\n<p>Which thoughtform do I want to empower and give energy to?<\/p>\n<p>The one that says the parties are unsafe and at odds?\u00a0 Or the one that says, I see it\u2019s possible for everyone to take all matters into consideration and to do the right thing.\u00a0 It\u2019s possible for everyone to live together happily and harmoniously and settle all matters between them easily and effortlessly as soon as they arise.<\/p>\n<p>Do I want to empower and add to the thoughtform that the U.S. is on its way to stability and recovery on all levels and that the world is coming together as old regimes move out and the new age begins?<\/p>\n<p>If that is the thoughtform I want to empower, then I think more and ponder more that that is coming about.\u00a0 I take note of all evidence I see to support that.\u00a0 That is how I empower and add to those global thoughtforms.\u00a0 That is how I do my part, that is MY part in this joyous co-creation we call life on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>My part, my contribution is to look everywhere for evidence of wellness and wellbeing, and bask in it whenever and wherever I find it.\u00a0 My part is to have faith and hopeful expectation and belief that life is good and getting better.\u00a0 My part is to find the positive aspects in everything, everywhere, ever moment, forever.<\/p>\n<p>No biggie
