‹› reflection of acceptance ‹›

the student was perplexed so he sat at the edge of the Wisdom Field to ponder his perplexity. it seemed that he sought this type of isolation more and more as he progressed on his path. paradoxically, this was in part what was giving him pause to ponder, this action of isolation. 'the more i grow, the further away i grow from people' he thought. 'perhaps i shall end up like the Old Hermit, unable to vibrate with others, alone the rest of my life.'

"it is not true that i 'cannot vibrate with others' nor am i ever truly alone" came a raspy voice from a bit inside the field. the student glanced up to witness an old man coming toward him. he might have mistaken the old man for one of the stumps in the field, but he knew straight away that he was indeed the Wise Hermit who was rarely if ever seen. "good day, good Hermit. i meant no offense with my thought, which i assume you heard." "yes, i speak so rarely that thoughts are quite loud in my ears" rasped the Hermit. "no offense taken young man, but i do think it is time we talked...." "please, yes, Wise Sir" replied the student.

"yes then" said the Hermit, clearing his throat, long unused to human speech. "the question here is acceptance of one's true inner self, and also one of balance. with me, there came a time when i realized without doubt that my frequencies were better suited for communication with the Elementals than with humans. this was my choice, but this may not be your path. even with that, i still seek balance by offering my learning in this life to others. look at your inner light my boy, and accept whatever it tells you, then seek balance therein." at that second, a bright fire came out of the end of the Hermit's staff. "you are as this light you see here. it is important to for you to spend time alone for reflection and meditation. every artist of life and wisdom needs this ~ one of the blessed ways to feed your flame and have it glow brighter and vibrate higher. but this is different than isolation. seek in yourself. this time spent away from others might be seen as time in preparation for you to give even more deeply afterwords, and your balance will be found in celebration of sharing.... try not to limit your path with thoughts that are not true to you. allow your fire to burn from the truth and acceptance of the self within, and concern not about what will come of it. it will always lead you to the correct path for you....

"and yes, while it is true that some will not grow at the same level as you and go further and further away, some will; there will be those my son who will meet your vibration on this path, and you will find more learning and inspiration to continue with new and compatible company if you so choose. accept the way that is yours, young sir; not mine, nor hers nor his nor theirs... then see what is needed for you to balance on your Way.... his is the path to success, taught by your inner light."

the fire on the Hermit's staff went out, and he disappeared, leaving the student to ponder in a more positive Way....

accept the light within and seek balance from there
