Confession #4: I am a life-long learner

So it has been beyond awhile since my last blog and now I have time for it so let's take advantage...
I was in a car accident with my dear friend Alison on Thursday. We were in the process of driving to her parents' to clean house before their return from Florida. A good deed undone before we were hit going southbound on Old 23. So immediately upon impact I am thinking about Nate and Annika and what the outcome will be as we are jolted around the interior of the van. Both restrained by seat belts but definitely feeling every bit of the impact. After we stop moving, I look over at Ali and beyond her, the driver's side window and windshield are all shattered glass. I ask myself, "is she alive?". Immediately I hear her voice, "oh God Sarah, we are not okay.". I am in and out of focus but manage to request the keys be removed from the ignition. I feel a world of hurt in my neck, chest and foot. Alison gets out of the car! I am not able to and then the rest is a blur of EMT workers, ambulance lights and a long night in the UM ER.

I am okay. We are okay. I know that someday the image of a SUV "flying" into our vehicle will subside. I am shaken always by having to be vulnerable, helpless, dependent on others. That is a lesson in being patient with myself, with others, for living in the moment...for living in general. I am checking email for the first time in awhile and I checked my weekly message from "Angelspeake" a message from my angels. It reads, "Your purpose for being alive is to learn and elevate your consciousness higher and higher. Pray each day for the knowledge you will need to make a difference while you are here."

How timely. "Your purpose for being alive..." How often are we given time to think of our purpose? I have been given a gift in the midst of this situation to reflect and rest. In my spiritual and life journey I have been taught MANY lessons and sadly not all can be retained at once. Some must be set aside for later use. Just this past week a co-worker and I were discussing the state of our existence-the coming of a possible intellectual and social "Armageddon.". We talked of the dominance of masculine vs. Feminine energy. Our feminine energy tells us it is okay to just be versus do. Albeit I have no choice as I sit immobile on my couch on work release. But I have a choice to just be and I have a choice to share this lesson with who might be inclined to read what I have written today.

So thank you God and Goddess for seeing us through to okay, for allowing my journey of life to continue and for giving me some time to just BE.
