Oh My God, Aspasia!

When you said SYNERGY, I suddenly remembered another encounter we had here on this very thread several months ago. Synergistic co-creation was the theme of our dialogue.

LEELA AND THE LOTUS, remember?

I had to go back and reread our conversation and the story you inspired me to write. I was amazed! You also just quoted Whyte again on another thread, for Megha. You wrote

By the lake in the wood
in the shadows
you can
whisper that truth
to the quiet reflection
you see in the water.

Whatever you hear from
the water, remember,

it wants you to carry
the sound of its truth on your lips.

Here is an excerpt from the story I wrote in synergy with you way back...

She had been particularly upset that day, when she ran to the pond, scraping her tiny legs against all the weed and thorns she couldn’t bother to avoid on her way. Desperately, she tried to find her own reflection in the water. Something to remind her that she was real. That she mattered. But the pond was particularly muddy that day, and despite all her efforts, not a single ripple of her face was found.

She started crying, and as her tears dropped and melted into the water, one lotus flower in particular caught her attention. She looked at it while pouring all her heart’s intention into the face of the flower. She wept for a long time, until she finally reached the moment when there was no emotion left to be felt, no storm left to ride, no resistance left to break free from. Her heart became still.

As she sat with herself, cradled by this stillness, the lotus opened its eyes and looked right at her.

“Why are you crying, child?”, the flower asked.

“Because I can’t see my reflection.”, the girl replied.

The lotus looked at her with gentle eyes and said

“I am your reflection!”

YES! I do love this awesome ‘SYNCHRONERGY’! And when it returns like this in the most exquisite and sophisticated of ways, it just melts my heart. Which is exactly its purpose.

Oh and Megha, I just remembered. Just a few days ago, I was in a new playground with my daughter. There were two things in there that really caught my attention. The first thing was a statue of a dragon. The other thing was a giant wooden turtle in the middle of the playground. I remember looking at the turtle for a long time, feeling it wanted to tell me something, but I couldn’t figure out what... Thanks for bringing it to my awareness.

Synchronergistic vibes to all ❤️
