Two heads
Four hands
It’s so much better when we understand
We are meant to work together
Yesterday I asked my husband to put up a couple of levoler shades
in my rather tightly fit computer workspace. I took the laptop and stayed nearby
“just in case”. Often at work someone
will ask me for help and as soon as they have asked and I come over, they solve
the problem themselves. I jokingly call this two heads. Just asking for help,
just offering help, often creates the energy needed for a solution by
re-directing our mental/emotional state to one that sees the possibility of
resolution rather than the frustration of the problem. Mom always quoted the
saying “two heads are better than one” to us growing up. As yesterday was her
birthday it was fitting I should hear her gentle, motherly voice in my head.
My husband hit a frustration point of things not going well
when he dropped a hardware piece and was having trouble locating it in the
rather foreign and tightly packed surroundings of my space. I walked in to help
even though he said he just had to find this piece and didn’t really need any
help and of course, he immediately found it. From there we learned that when I
held the window treatment up out of his way in one hand and the flashlight so
he could see clearly in the other while he used both hands to install the hardware,
everything went smoothly and well. It was then my two heads line expanded into
two heads, four hands. I think this will be our mantra for the week.
And its message completed itself this morning as I look
forward to the events of this inaugural week. A time when so many are filled
with trepidation and others with expectation. A time that began with a Peace
meditation Sunday evening and will end with a peaceful gathering for equality
and love in Boston this weekend after Donald Trump is sworn in as our next
President.
Two heads and four hands, all of us working together, will
be our strength and purpose as this political term unfolds. Archangel Michael
also gave a clear message yesterday as I pulled cards for the day, one I
thought was just for me seems very appropriate for us all this week and in the
weeks ahead: “Positive thoughts create positive results.”
We will put our heads, hands and hearts together as we go
forward into this year.
Achieving the dream (so rightly recalling Martin Luther King Jr’s
legacy after celebrating his day yesterday) of equality and prosperity with consideration
and opportunity for all, takes hard work, will hold frustrations and fears in
its future path, but will go much more smoothly as we work positively together
to create the kind of country and world we want to live in.
