As the rain caressed the Mother Earth,
So did the Mother Earth caress the rain.
As The Big Elephant stood quietly beneath
The boughs of her beloved Baobab Tree,
So did the Baobab Tree caress her.

The Big Elephant felt the joy of knowing love.
To be loved and to love, thus becoming love.
In becoming love, she noticed no barriers,
No boundaries or stipulations, just being open
To giving just herself and receiving the same.

And, it was then that she realized
She had nothing else to do but just be for another
Herself, and stand stolidly by the side of another
Being there as they championed themselves
In whatever they needed to succeed.

She then freed herself to simply cheer another on...

Love,
Deb

Thanks Jade74 and Brit.

You know, whenever I feel like I "need" to be doing more or "saying" more or "directing" more, I just come back to this post and I feel in "balance" again. And then I quietly go about my way with a smile on my face and simply "allow".

Thank you Big Elephant!!!

Love,
Deb

I was wondering today, if I have done all I need to do, today,
And then it occurred to me that certainly I have for me to
Ask such a question, for certainly I would never consider if not.

The Big Elephant blended her day into the eve with respect
Of her repose and allowed herself to take a deep breath
Before she rested then in the swaying of the green of the leaves.

It had been a busy day, she delighted in all that had transpired
She recognized that she had put herself forward and vantaged
Herself in a most pleasant way, she smiled in delight of her being.

The Big Elephant then paused in her gratefulness for all that
She had experienced. She posed herself in respite, knowing that
All that she was has come from all that she purposed.

It was then that The Big Elephant felt the most gratitude.
Lifting her head before her evening rest, she gave one last
Pause for the eve and then gathered herself to sleep.

In her sleep, she dreamed. She dreamt of a Mountain that
She was yet to climb. Interestingly, she felt a calm knowing
That the climbing of this Mountain would be to her Ultimate Devine.

She rested then...

Love, Deb

It was a "Gathering Day", of sorts,
The Big Elephant thought.
Gathering all that she had purposed
Heretofore and now had found, another
Change coming 'round.

And in the coming of that change she found
All that she had learned coming forth to greet her.
It was from that learning that she was able to
Receive this new change without resistance
But with a knowing that all happens for the good of all.

In that "new light", The Big Elephant began to acknowledge
That another change was coming but now she found herself
"Inviting" it with anticipation. Because now she knew that
When one situation ends, it only opens up the door for another
To sweep itself across her plain in a new and inviting, exciting way.

So, now, she sat in anticipation, wondering with delight
What she would next experience. Full of anticipation and
Curiosity and a knowing that whatever it was would so fully
Continue to define who she truly is and allow her to delight
In her experience of being the best she could be in whatever situation

....She found herself...

For certainly that is what she had come to learn...
To find the best of herself in whatever situation
She found herself. That was her responsibility...
And, she found it was getting easier and easier
As she allowed herself to just go with the flow...

Acceptance of the situation that she was in and then
Finding her best self in whatever she was experiencing.
The Big Elephant then shook her head in agreement
With what she had come to know, saying "Yes, and so it is."
Taking another long deep breath, The Big Elephant,

....Turned her eyes towards the stars and identified with
the star that stood out in the darkness, the one who shone

...Brightest....

Love, Deb
