Musings and What-not

Do you believe that healing from abuse is possible? Do you believe you can create a better world for yourself and others?

We all know that everything is  energy , and where we play is what we experience. Right? A lovely thought if we just so happen to be jaunting about on a hilltop meadow, picking wildflowers, singing the songs of the Faeries, and playing with our pet unicorn, Fluffy. But that experience isn't one that we often get to have... at least not with our eyes open.

I've spent so much time worrying and stressing about what will happen to him tomorrow that, at times, I have allowed precious moments of my today slip carelessly slip through my hands. Germany has its Autobahn... the road I travel has a beautiful yet mysterious companion that is Autism. My journey has been one of great fascination... and frustration. There have been many twists, turns, bumps, and detours along the way. One moment, I am cruising along at a comfortable speed, letting the wind caress my face, and in a flash, I encounter a pot hole that rattles me to the core.

Most of us on this path, the path of Autism, are quite familiar with the poem having to do with Holland.  Many of us may not have planned to give birth to Autism, but for reasons we may never fully know, Autism had plans for us. As parents to these children, are we to look at ourselves as being uber special in some way? Are we truly the Chosen Ones? Are we the only ones who were somehow more prepared than others to handle a life that would be altered in unimaginable ways?

A play on words from a popular movie... yet, there's a lot of  truth  to them.
