Meet Stick Figure
I listened to some tapes a friend had brought to me earlier this year, they are those Abraham Hicks sessions that are about this woman who channels Abraham. Another friend said she didn’t like the vehicle but she liked the message and I’d have to say I agree with that notion. The whole adoration of the process is a little off-putting but the message is on track. And zen in its perspective.
Interestingly enough I walked through City Park this morning thinking of a total edit of my script – you know the one – the one that begins every chance conversation with a detailed log of loss. So that grey bound log of loss is getting so heavy I’d like to burn it. And I’d like to start licking the tip of my pen and beginning to write again the story of my life.
In one of my life coaching sessions she asked me to envision my captain and I saw a stick figure – no gender, no muscles, no clothes – just a stick figure. Interestingly enough it was not Wonder Woman, who had shown up in my vision of a role model when in 1995 I was going through behavior modification for panic attacks and phobias that had arisen from anxiety. Wonder Woman is gone – but do not grieve, she died in her prime, looking as hot as ever. Better than watching an aging super hero, which would really be sad.
So Stick Figure, that is also the name I gave my captain, is here to bring clarity, but interestingly enough, not the “This is what you need to do,” form of clarity you might think I sought, but rather the, “No matter where you are in your life at the moment, it is exactly where you need to be, no matter how things may seem to appear,” form of clarity. Zen clarity which makes the ambiguous palpable.
The important thing about the Hicks tapes are the messages about being out of sync, about swimming upriver and feeling the strain against the current and about how it feels when you are floating along and going with the flow. So much better. Stick Figure is going to stick around as long as I need to remember to not only go with the flow but be part of it as well.
My horoscope today captured the moment perfectly:
