What if I am borrowing the house?

What if nothing we believe we own is really ours?

What if the Universe is loaning us the land and the house and the car and the family and the business and we get to use and enjoy and learn and care for these things until we die?

What if then the Universe distributes them to other people who can best enjoy and learn from them?

What if you are wearing stupid pants?

What if anger is a belief that others should do and say and believe and live and work and act and vote and speak and dress and behave and eat as I do so that I will be happy?

What if they can never live up to my expectations and I will live longer and better and healthier if I just let it go and allow everyone to be themselves?

What if three times and I’m done?

What if I put into my mind that I will try something three times and then stop because I am on the wrong path at this time? If I call three times with no reply then I will stop. If I try to do something three times or buy something in three stores, then I will stop.

What if this is my guidance showing me a better way and probably “one” time should be enough but being human, I often try a few more times?

What if I am ready to go?

What if people could choose to die when they were finished living and did not have to choose debilitating diseases or accidents to cross over?

What if we could allow them to die without begging them to stay?

What if when they wanted to talk about their death, we did not become uncomfortable and tell them that they still have many good years left and change the subject?

What if I went to the service station?

What if I took myself to the cosmic mechanic and got a body tune-up? What if they brought down a big golden hose from the Universe and hooked it up to a magical place on my body and gently flipped the “on” switch and all of my pain and soreness and negativity and fear and anger and frustration was drawn out and I was left feeling like a new person?

What if they finished it with a shower of joy and love and good wishes?

What if she did not show up?

What if I invited three friends to a show a month in advance and bought the tickets but the night of the show, one of them did not call or show up and never mentioned it when I saw her weeks later?

What if this was a lesson for me to communicate better and not to gossip about her and to know that everyone is perfect and she was “perfectly rude” and I still care for her?

What if I was proud of myself because I just observed the situation and did not get mad?

 

What if she didn’t understand?

What if I recently hired someone for $? an hour but they felt shorted that they were not making the same as others who had been there for 15 years?

What if I could not make them understand and they quit? What if everything was in perfect order and another person was waiting to come in? What if the first one finds a job at a much higher salary – or not?

What if I have a good reason?

What if I go to church or temple or synagogue because it is a habit my parents started or I would feel like a sinner if I did not go or it was a social experience where I could show off my new clothes?

What if I went because it was a joyful and loving experience and I believed that uniting with others for one reason adds more power to the purpose?   Only I know.

What if I took up pole dancing?

What if because of my upbringing, I have spent my life trying to be the best child, student, employee, friend, spouse and parent to everyone in my life? What if because I felt that if I did not please you I would die, I know nothing about how to make myself happy? What if it is OK to have chaos around me and be happy doing what I enjoy? What if what I want from you is what I need to give myself first?     for Debbie M.

What if we talk more now?

Recently my beloved grandson left the planet in an auto accident and he has been communicating with me on a daily basis.

What if the static on the phone or the cigarette odor or the orbs of light floating in the dark room or the cologne smell or the feathers all around or the coins on the ground are all messages from my boy? What if I can now sit with a pen in my hand and watch as he sends messages to my paper? What if this is becoming so prevalent that I am amused by his power of communication and my sadness is lifting? What if he has returned to his normal state and I can walk and talk with him whenever? What if I KNOW that he is OK?

What if a new ailment is on the horizon?

What if because of the new social media, many of us rarely interface with one another but merely text or email or Facebook each other as our primary means of communication? What if because we can edit and delete before we send, the other person never sees the real us? What if when we meet in person, I can see and feel how you really are? What if loneliness is the new common ailment of many?

What if I saw my friend with droopy leaves?

What if I took the time to visualize another person as a rose to get a feeling for how she was doing?

What if she is bright yellow and cheery or wilted in the corner or all alone in the garden or taller and stronger than any other plant or broken in half or exuding a fabulous fragrance or wrapped tightly around a stick or growing there peacefully?

What if I wake up smiling?

What if it is important to remember how we feel when we wake up from a dream?

What if I am the only one who can interpret my dreams as I am the one who knows what each symbol personally represents? What if books and others can guide me and give me their input but the final meaning comes from my inner knowledge?

What if dreams help us balance our day and process our inner emotions?
