Four cold walls against my will...(adele)

My car wouldn't start a month ago. I was stranded at the fresh market in the parking lot. As the rain was pouring down against my window I was on the phone for an hour describing my inner secret that I have been holding in forever. When I wanted to leave in reverse the starter did not want to cooperate. Couple weeks later I am driving in the dreary rain one afternoon and I get pulled over by a cop and handed a lovely speeding ticket. I was feeling tired that day and was thinking how could I even push the accelerator that hard to even being going over the limit. The next week I am stopped by a man in the chase parking lot bringing to my attention that my right front headlight is out on my beetle. I think to myself, "good morning to you too sir; I am trying to put money in my account because i bounced a check from not knowing where the dam bank was a day earlier". Another week passes and as I am walking to my car in the rain, a car splashes me with water. Soaking wet from head to toe I continue walking with my head held high. Upon arrival to my car I see a watery dripping parking ticket displayed on my windshield. I throw the ticket on my dashboard and as it sticks I laugh out loud to myself, "I was just testing to see if I could park on the sidewalk". Two days ago my car will not start again. It's just sitting there not budging along with the right headlight that does not want to be turned back on either.

I have hit the four cold walls against my will.... These occurrences with my car I have developed. I take full responsibility for each one of them.

What do we do when life makes us aware that we are creating these incidences? That our vehicle that transports us around is similar to our own body and heart. This definitely is not the first time these electrical mishaps have happen to me. They don't just come in one or in pairs but they just keep overbearing me until I take control of the situation. So what do I or you do to stop this?

You get down on your knees and sometimes even further to the ground and you call on your higher power. Whether it be your God, Goddess, Spirit, Angel, Buddha, etc. Though they may be showing you a lesson they will always listen. They are just waiting for you to call on them so they can light your way. Then you look into the subtle messages they are sending you through your mishaps and you reverse them. Sit there and remember what was going on in your life or what were you thinking when things started going wrong. You create your life. Start owning it. Start living it. Become aware. Become present. Have faith. Have belief. Love it. Love it some more and then truly love it.

Why do we fall to ground and kneel to pray? You have finally become one with earth that was made from your creator. Touching the coldness of dirt against your skin calms you. You have learned to let go and become vulnerable. You realize enough is enough and you surrender by listening.

My headlight being out signifies to open my eyes a little wider. Not just my physical eyes but deep down into my soul. The speeding ticket tells me to slow it down and stop thinking too much and just except the presence occurrences. The battery shows me I am being drained and to nurture my being before I am completely no use to myself or others. The parking ticket calls out to just surrender already. Last but not least, the car not starting addresses an emotional situation that needs to be started.

Blessed be...
