Hello everyone, it is a beautiful morning in Friendswood, Texas. I apologize for the lack of posts lately, both Amy and I have been very busy between the Free Readings and school work piling up, as always at the most inconvenient times. The video I posted above is called Human by The Killers - they are one of my favorite bands, and I love the sound of this song and the album it is on in the morning. I don't know about the rest of you, but music is pretty much essential in my life. My music is almost always a representation of the mood I am in, and absolutely the muse for the stories I am always creating in my mind. I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do.
On an off note, I feel I am really making progress as of recently - I've mentioned earlier that I am an Emotional Empath, alongside the fact that I am the type that has turned her empathy off due to the overwhelming emotions humans are always experiencing. As such, I almost have opposite symptoms of most Empaths... up until this point in my life, I've generally 'repelled' people so to speak, in the sense that I project the fact that I am very closed off. The only time my Empathy ever strongly effected me was in the presence of animals, or stumbling across a sad news story. All of that being said, I've tried lately to turn 'on' my Empathy, and have realized it's sort of like a switch I can flick. The past few days, I've had strangers of all different types talk to me, say nice things, randomly start telling me their life stories, or asking for advice.
As much as I had expected all of these things to make me severely uncomfortable (I've always considered myself a chronic loner/hermit, say for my spare few friends and family), they didn't. This has really been a turning point for me - I feel universally connected, more so than ever. I sense that this is what was necessary to continue my journey to discovering who I am and what I'm meant to do while on this earth.
Whereas the old Ashton would have turn and ran in fear of such a prospect, I have made a conscious decision to embody Strength; to stare fear in the eyes and conquer the beast inside through compassion and gentle, flowing, never-ending patience.
Bright Blessings,
Ashton
