The Light?

It's funny what the Artists Way is opening up lately

Or perhaps that last post scared you and you don't think it's funny (heehee)

Is it possible for a person to exude an inner light?

Perhaps something that shines brightly when all the senses are fully aligned?

At my happiest right before marriage #1

Someone pointed out that little kids behaved strangely around me

As I walked past they would stop what they were doing and their heads would turn

Their eyes following me until I was out of sight

It was the creepiest thing I'd ever seen (ala Children of the Corn)

It became a sort of game to pop in and out of a store aisle to see if they'd stop 

Only to find their little eyes still staring

But the funny thing is, when I started my downhill slide into sadness

The kids never gave me a second glance...ever

Intrigued I wondered

could the inner light be affected by our situations

and could others sense it

I knew children and animals could

Then I remembered uncomfortable situations with guys (and girls)

in the neighborhood and at work

who I hardly knew and professed their love

Confused I wondered if I had done something to lead them on

But now I wonder

Could it be that, barring any physical attraction,

they could sense something else?
I've done it too; attracted to someone I normally wouldn't glance at
And later realizing it was their passion for life that I was attracted to

Intrigued, I called hubby #1 and asked why he liked me

"You used to be so happy, something about you,...

And then it was like the light in your eyes died"

Aha, he said 'light'!

Hubby #2 and I talked about this

I told him perhaps people lose their way and succumb to life's realities

they wander in the 'dark' like moths in the night

and someone comes along who exudes 'light'

and they are attracted to it

think they're in love

when what they long for is the light to be reignited within them

I wish I could reignite the light in everyone

myself included

So my goal is to test this concept

I am going to try to align my six senses more often

and if I get the little ones with head-turning, creepy wide eyed toothless smiles

then I know I have connected to the light

Ok don't worry I'm done freaking y'all out

I'll be back to my regular posts soon!

Promise!
