Ho'oponopono

Words from others can burn little holes in our hearts or lift our spirits to heights where the clouds are our neighbors...is that why the monks take a vow in silence, preferring to nod and smile?


  Life is a highway! I wanna ride it all night long! The words of others are starting to vibe to an emotion that can't be satisfied. Life reminds me of the crack in a wall that I plastered over only for it to reappear as an even bigger crack a year later with thicker sides thanks to the drywall! That crack is a gentle reminder to me that no matter how good I do my job, how well I think I raised my children, how much love I gave to friends, there is always and I do emphasize always, going to be a crack somewhere thanks to our differences in perception. With that in mind, I am blessed to know of a Hawaiian prayer called the Ho'oponopono which means to make it right. Simple, yet powerful are the words and they change our family's lineage to one of greater love. 
   For tonight, I will not focus on the words of a beautiful person whom I love that temporarily made me look at the crack in the wall on the East side of my house, because I know they were driving in the fast lane when they probably should have been on the shoulder!
