Yesterday…I was angry…that righteous indignation kind of anger…that is so
hot it just about burns a hole in you…the interesting thing about it was…the other person didn’t even know I was angry…because…they hadn’t exactly done anything to me…not directly anyway…
But to me…their actions…were disrespectful to me…didn’t honor me…and I responded…by getting down right mad…
Thankfully…Bertha…intervened before I blew a gasket…by telling me…this person…this action…was a lesson for me…it wasn’t that it was being done to me…rather it was being done for me…of course not intentionally by the person in question…they just happened to come along…being exactly who they were…doing exactly what they do…trying to live their life the best way that they could…when…they rubbed me the wrong way…
But…why…I whined…
To which…Bertha…responded that it was because I was ready to learn that lesson…I was ready to grow in that place…I was ready to be more than I had been before the interaction…I was ready to live my truth…and practice the art of forgiveness…in order to become…whole…
Hmmm…so…I guess it’s true…when the student is ready…somebody’s gonna tick them off…
