I wonder how many other people are so busy surviving that they they also did not mourn their life situations--the death of a spouse, the loss of a baby, etc.Rachel Pokorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940155994452216977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092148025129358820.post-2119165583181861882011-07-20T20:42:35.233-04:002011-07-20T20:42:35.233-04:00These are good questions to ponder, Marie.

I am thinking that it is NOT my responsibility to complete their unfinished symphonies, only my own from prior lifetimes, and those I've designated as top priority in this lifetime! And that's plenty enough for me!<br /><br />Matter of fact, I feel that when I get diverted into something that might have filtered into my consciousness from a parent, as a goal they might have had, I lose track of my connection with my own higher purposes for this lifetime.<br /><br />I've given this a lot of thought over the years. For a time, I believe I lived out some of my mother's desires -- as a newspaper journalist, for instance (which she also was, but was stopped in her career, I think, by her preference for alcohol). I could have gone many other ways, but I "fell" into that one. It was good training, as it turned out, and so I don't regret it. But in truth, it was her influence that drew me into it, told me it was a reasonable career to pursue. She and I may have even planned it that way! Or I may have planned to be influenced in that way, as part of what I needed to learn to accomplish my own goals. But now I view it as a "sampling" process I went through, sampling something of my parent's experience. Until I was ready to become my own being. <br /><br />Perhaps this is a phase all offspring go through. Not necessarily a bad one, just a factor in our development. I'd say, choose your parents wisely if you have the opportunity to choose! (And not all do.)Liannehttp://www.cosmicvisionary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
