I SEE you!

I wanted to write about this today and explore it some, deep diving if you will....because it is something in my life that fascinates me, and I am not sure I myself fully understand it.....but it has been with me all of my life.....I feel like one of the gifts I have been given along this journey is the ability to really SEE people......both their light and their shadow.....getting a good read on people.....I have touched on this realization before........and you may think well how can that really be, since you have been duped in your life in the ways you have?? Good question, and I will get to that;-) But I can catch subtle nuances of a person, hearing what they say, and what they don't, and feeling them........and the ability has actually sharpened......and remember I did see past the rest in March, and leave the situation I was in before the fallout;-) It is evolving indeed:) BUT here is the piece that I think is important about it....we all talk about rose colored glasses, and having them color the world you see.....and that can be detrimental right?? But is it?? Because I feel like I have been given glasses.....besides the one sitting on my face every day lol:) And those glasses that I was given give me a deep peek inside of a person.....their struggles, their challenges, which evokes deep empathy in me.....their fears.....their human stuff.......and also what makes them magic.....I do it all of the time in my classroom......seeing past the behaviors that a kiddo exhibits, and seeing the human condition lying underneath begging to be heard, and it inspires me to get through, and build a bridge we can walk over together......and I do it with all people......it is why coaching lights me up the way it does......it allows me to use "my glasses" to help another person......and see the greatness in them, before they see it! THE BEST!!! And I cannot stress enough how REAL my vision is for people.....I feel I am good at getting a good read on a person.....BUT there is always a caveat.....I also have been given a blind spot.....just like when you pull out of your road, and your car has that one column in it, that can block that person suddenly speeding and right there, that you didn't see before.....like that.....and THAT spot has gotten me hurt more than once.....my therapist knowing my ex husband was capable of what he did, and my not having a clue......like that.....but that one spot, doesn't detract from all of the gifts having the kind of vision I have for people holds, I believe that.....seeing the entirety of a soul when I meet them, and get to know them has always been a lovely experience......even if they had a spot hiding that my glasses could not detect;-) because I think REALLY seeing people is a gift! And being SEEN is amazing too! So I have been given "soul spectacles" :).....the ability to see what a person could be, beyond that human condition stuff.....even if they can't......like walking into a house that needs fixing up and seeing it in its overhauled state already......like that:) And both astrologers that read my chart, saw this "gift" I speak of.....commenting on my ability to see the goodness in people fully.....the potential......the underneath stuff....and I suppose my idealistic optimism, has always kept me in a state of believing that people can rise to that space......and the truth is some people choose not to, it is too challenging for them, they are content to float in old patterns, old ways, old cycles, opting to not rise.....and I suppose as I type this, and explore this, that is the work I need to do surrounding this......accepting that......it is hard for me, and always has been hard to accept that, because what I see in people is SO BEAUTIFUL and I know they could attain it if they.........and I suppose that is irritating if you don't want to lol:) I will likely never let go of this part of me, it is deeply embedded in every fiber of my being, and it is how I experience the world and people....and it is why I feel joy so often too! I err on the light filled stuff always.....when I see a sunset, or a baby smile, or climb a mountain, I REALLY feel it....and when I vibe with my people it is the same......so I need to account for that blind spot for sure, and learn to accept that some folks struggle to overcome and step into their light.....but I will never stop offering support and belief to those that do! Have a great day:)
