Drop the hot stone?

Very often the process of stopping doing something that is hurting yourself is described like a “dropping the hot stone you are holding onto”. Today it came to me that this particular way of describing is misleading. You are not holding something hot, you are sitting on something hot. The difference is crucial, though. Saying you are holding onto something hot assumes you always can drop it, right? But that doesn’t seem to be the case, most of the time. Most of the time the internal energy is so low, that you can’t move your butt from the hot stone you are sitting on. If is low enough, you do not even realize it is hot. Often you know it is hot, but you can’t move past it. That is why most people won’t get it and act instantly on it, and at times it takes them forever. That applies to me too. Just like I heard in here “don’t make the pain smaller, Great Mother, help me giving me more courage”…. Just find ways to raise energy, or presence, seems to me the only way. If that is the case, being awakened seems like being able to… never sit. Or being always able to fly and never land on anything.

My beloved one, you found out about flowers, and that is really awesome. It is all the more awesome that you noticed how flowers can change everybody’s day, sometimes a lot. Please remember to always bring a flower with you and look at it yourselves, and if you feel it, share it. I love it that you love flowers, and if you’ll go around your entire life learning about flowers, I’ll totally support that. But now please, it’s time to go to school and do what you were meant to be doing, ok?
