So it can be difficult sometimes right? Let us just be with it.\u00a0 We would like it to be or we would like to be, but every once in a while it seems to want to be how it is. Even in the growth, we are invited to be thankful. Thankful for what is. Because what looks difficult, challenging, confusing, is really our boundaries being stirred up in consciousness. Which is good. Because it is time for us to open up to who we really are.\u00a0 Realize that nobody can save us, nobody has power over us, nobody owns or controls love. Nobody controls you, has power over you, can abuse you, torment you, or any other nonsense.\u00a0 And yet it feels like that is happening sometimes to all of us in one fashion or another.<\/p>\n
I feel like it is important to share our experience. When I was younger, I used to be, still am to a certain sense,\u00a0 highly sensitive to sound, peoples voices, loud music, and my family would feel embarassed, announcing, \u201cDavid doesn\u2019t talk and will cry if noise is too loud. Very sensitive.\u201d\u00a0 That led to me sitting for hours on end, singing on my swing. Now I was always pictured angels around me, and they would sit on the fence and listen to me make up songs, and sing anything.\u00a0 Later I would join the choir at church, sing in small groups, which led me into the arts as an actor, and although girls and acting took my time, I loved to sing.\u00a0 When I was twenty years of age, I returned from travel across the country in the musical TOM SAWYER.\u00a0 I was offered a part in a musical. But the character sang baratone.\u00a0 They hired a man from the SF opera house to work with me. I never hit that low and felt very discouraged by my voice, he kept telling me I couldn\u2019t sing. What he meant to say was I couldn\u2019t sing low. I was a natural second Tenor.\u00a0 After three weeks of rehearsal and nothing go right with the song. They asked me to just speak it. They said I couldn\u2019t sing.\u00a0 From that point on, I told people I couldn\u2019t sing, carry a note, hear a note, etc\u2026I took someones story of their own discouragement and made it my life story.<\/p>\n
This discovery was made just about a month ago.\u00a0 I was with my 4 year old daughter, and I started to sing to her.\u00a0 She asked me to sing again. I said, \u201cSure\u201d.\u00a0 From my mouth came the greatest discovery, a tone. Known as a divine tone came out.\u00a0 It scared me. My daughter loved it.\u00a0 She asked me to do it again. I did.\u00a0 For the past month, where ever we go, she has me do it. She told me angels sing like that. I smile. Maybe it is angels whispering their encouragement in my heart.<\/p>\n
I asked myself, \u201cWhy did I stop singing?\u201d That story about the rehearsal came forward. I write this to you, to let you know, you have a voice, no matter what anyone tries to tell you otherwise. You have a voice and you matter.\u00a0 I just re-discovered mine.\u00a0 Now you are it.<\/p>\n
Personality means \u201cpersonal sound\u201d. Each of us has our own unique sound. How beautiful is that. How wonderful are you! You are awesome, because you are! Love you! It feels good to discover again\u2026thank you to my biggest teacher\u2026my daughter.<\/p>\n
Thank you to those of you who read this sharing. May the angels carry your voices across the seas of love and away from the doubt of others.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
