A Trip to the Confessional

I selfishly disrespected another person. It is necessary for us to fall and necessary for us to see it. For, I think, if we didn't make mistakes like the one I did, we wouldn't have the chance to be reminded that each and every person matters. Each and every person has a spirit worthy of honoring, giving time and love to and sharing moments of connection. I'm so sad I didn't make the time to love this person. I honor her with words this morning as she was my first thought and I honor her for being the kind, warm, loving human being she is.


All consumed by my storytelling I was so insensitive I didn't even see her. Eventually I did and acknowledged my shortcoming but Sue deserved SO MUCH BETTER. I was focused on MYSELF at that point. There were wrongs & frustrations that had to be shared (but did they really?). Naturally what had to be shared was my egoic weak points; otherwise it wouldn't be a lesson.


You'll want to know a couple of weak points, wont you? How about just one. When it comes to dogs: My head spins every time I come across folks that get a dog and don't know what the bloomin' heck they're doing and it turns into a mini train-wreck. And people don't want to hear what they need to do because their own egoic mind wont let them learn what they need to learn.


So you get it now. I was telling a story that included a person with a dog that didn't know what they were doing and it was challenging my sensibility. And this was more important than Sue? A woman of an understanding soul, heart and worthy of such better treatment than what I gave out.


I'm greatly ashamed of myself. This isn't the person I care to be. I had joy to share, kindness, something entirely different. And this rudeness is what she got for no reason at all. Except my Ego's desire to tell a story that brought nothing worthwhile to the day.
