Hummingbird Dream

Originally written on 10/13/14

I had a dream, I was a hummingbird sleeping in the highlands of the Andes slowing down my heart so that I could survive the frigid temperatures of the night and waiting patiently for the sun to come and send me a sun ray to touch my heart so that I can fully wake up and come back to full life again.  At the same time the hummingbird had a dream of being a girl discovering she was really a hummingbird and following the steps to achieve the transformation she needed so she can finally fly the long awaited journey. 

Where would the journey take her? Wherever love leads.

An End is a Beginning

Started on 10/9/2014, completed on 3/25/2015 

The day of my wedding was a beautiful sunny day in May, not a cloud in the sky. I was filled with joy.  The day I filed for divorce was a beautiful sunny day in October, not a cloud in the sky.  It is interesting how I feel just as joyful.  The event is completely different but the level of happiness is just the same.

I know many people would not understand this because we have been raised to believe that weddings are happy events and divorces are not.  For me, the reason why this event feels just as happy is because ever since my separation almost two years ago, I have been working on myself to heal my heart from the break up. The best thing that worked for me was meditation; especially Loving-kindness meditation which is sending love to yourself and others sincerely and without judgment.  Break ups hurt but the heart is a muscle and muscles can be trained to gain strength.  I loved the man who used to be my husband for 15 years.  I loved him very deeply.  When I met him I was very impressed of how generous, kind, loving and hard working he was.  He loved my family and my family loved him as well.  His family loved me too and I loved them as well.  It did not take me long to fall in love.  He told me he has never fallen in love before and neither have I.  It was a first for both of us.  It was  a great love.  It was meant to be… while the causes and conditions were the same. (Always remember “Impermanence”) 

Deciding to separate was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life so far.  I gave this man and relationship my heart and soul… how do you claim that back?…. It turns out you can… Actually, your heart and your soul are always yours so you can never really give them away. 

Learning and Nurturing Abilities

From the wise three year old in me:

"It takes me longer to learn
It takes me longer to understand
It takes me longer to find solutions.... But this is changing.  As I practice I develop my brain and as I nurture myself I evolve as human"

It is important for me to take my time to first understand how important a subject is so that I take interest in learning how to do, resolve or maintain something.
The reason why three year olds ask "Why" a lot has two parts:
1.  The sense of curiosity and exploring is natural
2.  They want to UNDERSTAND why the subject is important in relationship to their life.
Without an adult explaining the importance of the subject in a way a child would understand, the child's mind will refuse to learn.
The first seed to plant when training a child is to capture his/her attention.
Second, we have to keep the child engaged.
Third, is to keep track and celebrate his/her success,  correct errors and give more practice time or find other ways to teach/train the child if he/she is not succeeding.

Peace and Love

The very first memory I have of my life is loving a person with all my heart and soul.  I may have been only 2 years old, but I remember clearly how much I loved my great grandfather.  The memory of him working on the patio shaving wood to make furniture is the very first memory I can recall of my childhood.  I was playing near him while he was working.  I loved him unconditionally.  How else would a child love? I also knew he love me and that he loved me for who I truly am.
One very clear and important memory from kindergarden is when a bunch of kids, boys and girls where making fun of this one boy because he brought to class his sister's stove toy with pots, pans and plates.  The kids were making fun of him because he was "a boy playing with girls toys". They were laughing at him and calling him names.  I saw what was happening; I remember how I immediately went to his side and told all the kids to leave him alone.  I felt very bad for this boy and I did not think it was right to treat him like that.  I told him not to feel bad and started playing with him to make him feel better, and he did. We both played with the stove pretending to cook, the kids stop bothering him and he was smiling.  Still to this day it makes me very happy to remember him smile.
