[EDIT, 10/4/05: Ok, everyone, I’m glad that Rhiannon is fabulous, but let’s not take over my blog, ok? I’ve closed the comments area due to the high volume of Rhiannon fans who are posting. I’m happy that everyone has dropped by, but I don’t want my blog to be listed as a Rhiannon site! I hope you all understand! Thanks again for stopping by. -A]
I do the Oracle 20/20 website. Oracle is a little metaphysical magazine local to Atlanta. They have a very good bookstore and they are a hub for psychics, astrologers, etc. Nice people.
Anyway, most of the time I read the articles and think, “yah, whatever”, but occasionally there is one that hits the nail on the head.
This month, there is an article by Rhiannon Waits called Catawba Woman’s Wisdom.
Talk about giving me a cosmic bitchslap! I needed to be reminded that not everyone wants to listen to what I have to impart and it’s not my job to keep retracing my steps to tell them again. It’s a waste of energy.
“You can share your knowledge but you cannot make them listen and you cannot make them make use of it. You squander your time when you keep going back and repeating yourself. Share your knowledge with much love but do not waste your energy retracing your steps, and trying repeatedly to set them on the right path. It is up to them to use or cast away what you impart. You cannot make their life easier for them; they have to do this on their own.” – Catawba Mud Puppy
Can I get an amen?
