Bad Hair Cut ?

The hair cut wasn't that bad but it wasn't what I thought I was asking her to do. I was not very happy when I got home and felt frustrated because I was trying to grow some of my hair longer. Now it is all very short again. So enough time of looking in the mirror and realizing that being upset doesn't grow my hair any faster I decided to see what lesson I could dig out of my disappointment.

The lesson is a reminder:

* to work on my communication skills and maybe next time I could bring in a picture or go over my idea with her and see if she "gets it". And in general be more aware of how I am communicating with others. Often I know what I feel or am trying to say but getting that idea across to another is harder sometimes then it seems.

* to listen deeper to others and myself (as I felt that was something she didn't really do for me). I am guilty of hearing but not really listening. I often interrupt, I'm thinking of what I want to say while another is talking and I've made choices in my life that were not the best for me because I didn't listen deep enough to my own thoughts and knowing.

I will ponder more about what it is to listen deeply and leave you with this thought.........

When one surrenders into listening closely and carefully and sacredly to the moment, there is no longer fear.
