(OP) User ID: 181321 United States 01/10/2008 08:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Brianna Quoting: Anonymous Coward 184760A few years ago, the “girls”, as I call them..My Wife, daughter and Grand daughter and I, went out to lunch together at Uno's…as we sat there talking and such, I notice a small boy , around 3 years old walking up to my grand daughter, a year and ½ old at the time, who was seated directly across the table. As this small boy approached my little girl, time seemed to suddenly stop…One of those “suddenly” moments…It was something God wanted me to definitely “see”. The small boy was standing no more then a foot away from her, probably closer to 4 or 6 inches..close enough to kiss and they where both looking directly at each other..face to face, eye to eye. Well within that “zone” we humans have…you know, that “zone” of about 3 to 4 feet that we as humans don’t allow anyone to enter into, unless its safe..ya, that “zone”. Anyway, time suddenly stops, as these two total strangers eye’s met you could “see” that there was some type of communication between them, one of Love, so much so you could “see” a “glow” around them, but there was no emotions, nor any words spoken…just this beautiful union between 2 humans..so innocent, so pure..so lovely. Then, after a few moments, the little boy stepped back, walked over to his mom that was watching and proceeded to walk out of the restaurant…as she walked by she smiled as if she “saw” the same thing just happen. After “witnessing” all this, I was reminded how most grownups “act” toward one another as they get older. With tears in my eyes and my heart ready to explode, I looked at my daughter and said…WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO US, AS HUMANS?… thats just a rip-off of the old drunk and the blonde baby story... GET SOME NEW MATERIAL BITCHES! nope, sorry...but I know nothing about a drunk and blond baby story..lol Peace its the same exact story.. posted all over the net years ago..and on GLP before xmas. peace. still a good story Never heard of it, friend. What I wrote, is what happened..thats all. Thread: The Cherished One ...do remember my agreement with everyone when having these little conversations.

I hear you friend but what in the case when someone violates your free will. Shields up!... lol…but is it not true? Go try walking into somewhere where you “feel” very uncomfortable for good reason…yep those shields will come up..or Scotty be looking for a new job. Now, on the other side of this I do understand what you are saying friend, for surly one having their “shields-up” all the time in life would be a tragedy to say the least, but as one poster stated already, that requires trust or a least the sense of a safe surrounding “environment” Peace ... well, golly, if'n someone tries to violate me free will... I ask them, "What's wrong with you?" And, and, and... I always go where it's uncomfortable (and can't ya tell by just what all I've put out here, lol)... but then too... I'm also a cracker who was born and reared in the Watt's area of Los Angeles (or, lol, a very street smart wise ass to the max!)... and... my first very real cultural like shock was when at 15 we moved into an all cracker or white type of environment... now that really blew me away, lol. or, lol, if I am ever uncomfortable I just start talking about it, and to/with any and every one and all around, and cuz that would be a really curious kinda situation for me, and so I would just naturally want to know more about it, and/or lol, like what the heck's going on. And, lol, if I am ever uncomfortable, and most always I am... with something new I am doing/being... then I just ask any/every one and all... "Hang in there please, I'll get it... I'm just a newbie is all." And then too... and if maybe ya think about it... in a very real sense, wouldn't the very bestest shield of all be no shield at all... well... and that is unless we're talkin' clothes and it's like really cold outside, lol. ... oops, I'm sorry... I forgot to add... I trust everyone to be themselves... and just as surely as I trust a flower to be a flower, and a snake to be a snake.... does that kinda trust count too? |

anime eyes User ID: 327514 United States 01/10/2008 09:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As I strolled in, somewhere between oblivious & completely distracted, as I really didn't want to be there to review some boring personal medical records, a little boy toddler, so young he'd only recently learned to walk, ambled out of the play area and directly into my path. We both stopped & made wordless eye contact In that instant, I warped out of this world & into a world that was utterly silent and w/o motion. The child looked up at me and he was absolutely radiant. I mean he literally GLOWED. There was an aura around his head, as in those Christ figure art icon thingies. He was the most beautiful living thing I'd ever laid eyes on. (His mother was no looker.) Out of the blue, I was overcome w/what can only be called agape. Freaked me the hell out. Never happened before & hasn't happened since. I put it right up there w/a UFO experience, which I have never had. It was that otherworldly. Glowing kids...it happens. Strange juju. |

I didn't want anyone packing their bags and going on some type of guilt trip, but only focusing on things they have no control over, such as the air they breath, the water they drink, the food they eat, ect... Quoting: The Cherished OnePeace That is the whole point CO. We do have control over our lives, but society in general has made it easy to become 'not responsible' for those choices. A few examples: Do you live in a city so blame that for the lack of fresh foods instead of the chemical induced store stuff? You complain because new clothes are expensive, Do you shop for clothes at a name brand store, an off brand store, or do you wear used clothing? Do you buy them with a cridit card? It is all a choice. Clear down to the dirt under your feet. There is nothing (quoting you here)" they have no control over" That is exactly the mindset I was talking about. Root cause: I would say greed, slothfulness, envy, covetousness, all promoted by our daily intake of whatever we CHOOSE. Ultimately it is OUR choices that we make that allows those thoughts or activities into our lives. We cannot blame the tv, we can choose not to watch, the radio? we can choose not to listen. the magazines? the newpapers? What are we choosing as humans/individuals? That is the question. We already know what has happened to us, society has chosen the path they are on, it is up to us individually NOT to follow those choices. Things change when you least expect it. |
