Yes - I firmly believe there is only ONE life and that Life is expressing in every form of life everywhere...AND, I must learn to be more comfortable with some of the forms, i.e., very large spiders (or spiders in general) and cockroaches!
Today, I found a cockroach (about 2" long) sitting at the foot of my bed! I stood frozen for several moments while I assessed my options. Screaming wasn't one of them, although now I wonder how come. It must have come in from the yard as I leave the sliding door open and just the screen separates outdoor life from my living space. Crushing it with my shoe I was sure would implant a crunching sound in my mind, whch I did not want. So, I found the broom and first knocked it off the bed, then chased it until I had secured it within the bristles and scooted it out the back door. It righted itself and ran for cover under some storage boxes.
What is it about these small creatures that makes a perfectly sane and normal woman squirm?
In some ways, I think it is sinply the fact that it crawls and moves pretty fast (as do the large tarntula spsiders in Mexico), and I fear them crawling on me as well. Knowing they do not transfer diseases to humans doesn't seem to help.
So, now I am feeling a bit more rational and benevolent toward then (several hours have elapsed) and am, once again, willing to acknowledge their "spiritual" nature - cause at their core, like all form, they are of God. And then I might engage God in a conversation that would go something like, "What were you thinking?"
Yes, it is my choice to live in this hot climate where such creatures abound - and yes, I am sure I will come to accept their presence as Divine. It iis just at this moment I feel a tad bit of resistance.
Blessings of love,
Lynn
