El Planeta (15) The Planet (15)
--¿Te das cuenta?—dijo la Voz.
--¿Cómo?—respondió Astra, dejando sus pensamientos atrás.
--¿Te das cuenta que lo que ves es espejismo?
--¿Quién habla?—preguntó Astra.
--Soy tu Luz—contestó la Voz. –Soy la Luz que reside dentro de ti.
Astra pensó que no tenía su propia luz, sólo era reflejo del Sol.
--Las apariencias no son la verdad.—siguió la Voz. –Tu Luz es parte de toda la Luz del Universo.
--Pero yo sólo soy una luna conectada a este planeta. Me imagino que hay millones de planetas con sus millones de lunas girando en el Universo.
--Puede ser, pero eso no quiere decir que tú eres menos o que vales poco. Tu luz y la Luz del Universo están conectadas. No hay separación. Mira tu planeta. Es otoño y las hojas se están cayendo. Cada hoja tiene su viaje y cada hoja forma parte del árbol entero. Parece que las hojas se separan del árbol, pero no, porque caen a la tierra y allí empiezan a dar nutrición en las raíces del árbol. ¿Ves? Todo está conectado. En realidad, no hay separación.
Astra no sabía que decir. Nunca había pensado en tales cosas, pero le gustaba y quería escuchar más.
Continuará.
“Do you get it?” said the Voice.
“What?” Astra responded, leaving her thoughts behind.
“Do you realize that what you see is an illusion?”
“Who’s speaking?” Astra asked.
“I am your Light,” answered the Voice. “I am the Light that resides inside of you.”
Astra thought that she didn’t have a light of her own, that she was merely the reflection of the Sun.
“Appearances are not the truth,” the Voice continued. “Your light is part of all the Light of the Universe.”
“But I’m just one moon connected to this planet. I imagine there are millions of planets with their millions of moons spinning in the Universe.”
“Could be, but that doesn’t mean you are less or worth little. Your light and the Light of the Universe are connected. Look at your planet. It is autumn and the leaves are falling. Each leaf has its journey and each leaf forms part of the entire tree. It seems that the leaves are separate from the tree, but they’re not because they fall to the earth and then start to give nutrition back to the roots of the tree. Do you see? It’s all connected. In reality, there is no separation.”
Astra didn’t know what to say. She had never thought about such things, but she liked hearing about them and wanted to hear more.
To be continued.

Una Pausa
"Don't take anything personally. Love and respect yourself. You are never responsible for the actions of others, but you are responsible for you. If someone is not treating you with love and respect, it is a gift if they walk away from you. You may be hurt for a while, but your heart will eventually heal."
I notice he did not say, "Judge the other person or blame the other person for the way they treat you." If I do not feel the love and respect from another person that I know I deserve, then I am free to walk away. I do not need to suffer.
I posted this here today because I saw this idea as very freeing. Whatever someone else does has nothing to do with me. Wow, I can have total peace all the time.
Take a deep breath and smile. :-)

El Planeta (14), The Planet (14)
--Chocándose cada rato contra nosotros mismos—dijo otro asteroide.
--¿Pero qué más nos queda?—preguntó el asteroide número 116.
--Hay posibilidades,--dijo Alejandro,--hay muchas posibilidades en el universo.
--¿Cómo qué?—preguntó el asteroide número 205.
--Bueno,--dijo Alejandro, --podríamos ser un planeta.
Todos empezaron a gritar a la vez. “¡No es posible! ¡¿Cómo un planeta?! ¡Prefiero seguir como somos, separados, individuos! Etcetera, etcetera.”
Alejandro trató de calmar los asteroides ruidosos.
--Déjenme explicar, jóvenes,--dijo, pero no fue fácil.
Los asteroides siguieron gritando y echando guerra entre ellos.
Alejandro pensó “Tiene que haber una manera de juntar toda esta energía y convertirla en algo positivo.”
Continuará.
“Listen, friends,” said Alexander, “we would have more power and more influence in the universe if we were only one entity instead of millions of tiny rocks spinning in crooked orbits.”
“Running into each other every second,” said one asteroid.
“What else can we do?” asked asteroid number 116.
“There are possibilities,” said Alexander, “there are lots of possibilities in the universe.”
“Like what?” asked asteroid number 205.
“Well,” said Alexander, “we could become a planet.”
Everyone began to shout at once. “It’s not possible! What do you mean a planet?! I want to be separate and individual! Etc. etc.”
Alexander tried to calm down the noisy asteroids.
“Let me explain, guys,” he said, but it was not easy.
The asteroids kept on shouting and fighting amongst themselves.
Alexander thought, “There must be a way to gather this energy and convert it into something positive.”
To be continued.

El Planeta (13)/ The Planet (13)
Hay preferencias, elecciones, alternativas y más adelante el “futuro.”
¿El futuro? No, no puede ser. El futuro no existe, sólo tenemos este momento. Este momento Astra anda girando, este momento Astra anda pensando, este momento Astra está contenta, este momento Astra está frustrada, este momento ella ha elegido su modo de ser, su buen humor o su mal humor. Este momento ha escogido cómo va a actuar. ¿No es así?
Pero los demás…los asteroides ruidosos por ejemplo, ¿qué tienen que ver con Astra, tan tranquila, tan elegante, tan fina, tan bella? ¿Por qué están en su vecindad, casi estorbando su órbita? Mejor, ¿qué tienen que enseñarle?
Mientras Astra pensaba que su vida era girar alrededor de su planeta y elevarlo por el resto de la eternidad, los asteroides estaban planeando algo bastante atrevido, bastante nuevo y bastante perjudicial.
Continuará.
What does life offer us? Should we choose one path or another or simply follow the road?
There are preferences, choices, alternatives and later on the “future.” The future? No, it can’t be. The future doesn’t exist, we only have this moment. This moment Astra is spinning, this moment Astra is thinking, this moment Astra is happy, this moment Astra is frustrated, this moment she has chosen her way to be, her good mood or bad mood. This moment she has chosen how she is going to act. Isn’t that so?
But the others…the rowdy asteroids for example, what do they have to do with Astra, so calm, so elegant, so fine, so beautiful? Why are they in her neighborhood, almost getting into her orbit? Better yet, what do they have to teach her?
While Astra was thinking that her life was about spinning around her planet and enhancing him for the rest of eternity, the asteroids were planning something quite daring, very cutting edge and quite disruptive.
To be continued.

Some Beautiful Thoughts
When I'm uncertain, will you hold my hand?
Will you be strong for me? Sing to me quietly?
Will you share some of your stories with me?
If you will show me compassion, then I may learn to care as you do,
then I may learn to care.
When I am angry, will you still embrace me?
When I am thoughtless, will you understand?
Will you believe in me, stand by me willingly?
Will you share some of your questions with me?
If you will show me acceptance, then I may learn to give as you do,
then I may learn to give.
When I am troubled, will you listen to me?
When I am lonely, will you be my friend?
Will you be there for me, comfort me tenderly?
Will you share some of your feelings with me?
If you will show me commitment, then I may learn to love as you do,
then I may learn to love.
