Revoke Those Permissions

A  L  O  H  A !

"Our greatest strength lies 

in the gentleness and

 tenderness of our Heart.” 

                           Rumi 

"Be with those who 

help your being."

but if you do it right, 

once is enough."

Once upon a time

in your life,

certain behaviors

[let's call them 'symptoms']

presented themselves to you.

Would you like to respond

with Anger in this situation?

Do you choose fear,

or despair?

Sarcasm?

And we gave them permission,

invited them in. We tried them on.

And they became 'our' way.

I've been noticing:

'Here's where fear begins'

and watching how

that moment Before

Anger [or saying something

dumb] presents a choice

- everytime - to

which we long ago

gave permission:

'Yes, I'll get angry!'

'Yes I'll say that

marginal thing.'

It became a habit

that some call

'Personality'.

But what if we

revoke those permission?

What could come of that?!

When I find I'm irritated,

or about to make some

flippant remark I'll regret.

I tell myself:

"I revoke those permissions."

Just like on your mobile device:

Those apps are deactivated.

Your permission 

has been revoked.

And you know what?

It's working!

I revoked those permissions.

And do not click "Accept"

when they present themselves.

Who KNOWS what could 

come of THIS!
