Difficult time

[morningstar]

Hello everyone,

Things have been rather stressful for me lately - but I know it's all part of the journey I am on and the lessons I must learn/remember. How I handle this recent string of events I view as a test of how far I have come and a mirror to how far I have yet to go.

These events have preoccupied me and, at times, become very overwhelming. I still find myself in the midst of alot of chaos - so I do need to remain as strong as possible ... sometimes, as of late, this has been challenging to say the least.

I cannot presently discuss the situation in any detail, however, I can say that someone - a person I worked closely with for some time - was doing terrible, deceitful things that, in a ripple effect, have hurt so many people both emotionally and monetarily.
Betrayal is such a painful thing. I trusted this person, as did many others - it still does not seem real.

I feel deep sadness and pity for this person.
May they come to learn from their own errors and through this situation may they come to a new understanding ... one that brings them true fulfillment of spirit.

Excerpt from the Native American Code of Ethics:

Be tolerant of those who are lost on their path. Ignorance, conceit, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul. Pray that they will find guidance.

May I find the strength to continue to pray for them - not in spite what they've done - but because of it.

Blessing to you all.

With love,
M

When the first person takes a path across the wilderness the way is rough and rugged. But as more and more travel that same path the way eventually becomes smooth and even.

When someone diverges from the well traveled path it is either to find a better way or they have been distracted and gone astray.

If you can bring your acquaintance back to the proper way, all will benefit; the one who has erred by avoiding the stumbling stones beneath their feet and those around by having another set of feet to further smooth the way for future generations.

My hopes and best wishes are with you and your workmate.

George
