Michelangelo

How do you get in touch with yourself?  First we obviously know we're alive and occupy  space but how do you connect deep down with who you are.  There are other life forms and habitats that surround you that are important to your growth, such as dogs, cats, children, old people, flowers, trees, plants, oceans, mountains, deserts, forests and  valleys.  In order to learn about you, you need to interact and become acquainted.  Your responses will be a clue as to what you want to be in life so it's a good place to start. 

Does the ocean draw you in?  What about a walk in the forest?  Are you drawn to old children or babies?   How about lying on a blanket under the stars?  Did you visit an animal shelter and see a dog or cat that you just had to take home with you?  What about someone having trouble, did you go to their aid or just walk away?

Even though we are singular (one body unit) we were made to be connected with others of our kind.  We are, in a way like herd animals.

And I know some of you are still walking alone, feeling forlorn and isolated.

We can stay by ourselves for a period of time in isolation away from others but then we find we crave the companionship of other human beings because it's something we miss.

Isolation is something we may all experience or even choose but will soon find that companionship with others is integral to our growth.

Take a moment to think about yourself, your body, your skin color, hair, how on earth you were made.  You are a wonder, a miracle.

How did we get the personality you have?  Why were we born black or white or red or tan?  Why are you female or male?   What are your likes, dislikes? 

Were we poured into this organic suit or were we shrink wrapped?

You are a walking, living, breathing piece of art, a Michelangelo in the making.
