Adopting People as our Family
Adopting People as our Family
by Alexandra Holzer
“Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” ~ The Essential Rumi
The world works in mysterious ways. As a human being we are born into it to have a few options available to us as new beings. Either we have a full set of parents who wanted us or perhaps just one parent was available. Either we were born by no planning or by a terrible moment in time. Either way, we are born the same but how we end up is where it all gets messy. Life is messy. It was not meant to be clean and planned accordingly for each soul. We have free will.
This free will helps the soul engage in the decision making process or there lack of. As us beings grow and mature, who is in our developing environment makes a world of difference. This is our initial influence to what is right and what is wrong. This is how we learn to engage behavior patterns, social skills and how to love and give back.
Family has meaning to the word. It refers to the basic social unit consisting of parents and their children. This is also a group consideration either in a dwelling together (the traditional family) or not together (separated).
The social unit defines who we will become. The possibility of labeling begins, what religion to believe in or not to believe in, how to handle situations growing up and on the list goes. If we arrived in a pure incubator styled system teaching us by a computer all the perfect social cues, and all the right ways to live a life then we’d have a very different and bland society. But, it would be safe. However, life is not always safe and risks must be taken in order to manifest what we truly feel we need to be doing in that moment looking forward to our future. The way we are born into this world is free. Where we are born dictates much of that freedom. For example, being born in a third world country versus America.
For many our families are a unit that works well over time and will leave the earth plane in sync. For many families they are broken and are in search of that very social unit they were born into. In your life path you come across people who are not related to you, but you feel a certain connection and synergy with them.
Time is a great tester of all things but thru this test of time, we develop a deep understanding and appreciation for what we do have in terms of family. It is here when the magic happens that we adopt in our minds and hearts these people who we were not born too. Rather, we choose and make the conscientious decision to become family.
There are no rules in this life as to which family should be for each of us. To be alone is a very sad and real outcome for many. It is a feeling of despair, destitute and depression leaving an empty soul to feel useless and abandoned. We need to learn to love more as a society and stop worrying about the proper family edict of what it should look like. What does it feel like we should ask. The belief system here is true love that will blossom and carry over for generations to come.
There is to much emphasis and pressure leading to undue stress for many during holidays, events, moments in time layered in expectations for us to act accordingly. Many suffer the syndrome of the family that dictates to us our outcome which is very threatening and NOT loving. Love is family and should be unconditional whether the seas are smooth or rough. The storm should be weathered the same with love and guidance not anger and pretentious ‘know it all’ behavior. Sometimes, it has to change and other times it flows. It is all dependent on how we grow as adults and the shape we take thru our human journey as our soul evolves into who we see ourselves to truly be.
After all, we are in this together and no-one is getting out any differently. Why not make this a union of an example to set loving goals to spread for our children and their children to come. Make your own family, come from your family, love another family, add to your family, but always keep love in your mind, body and soul for it is the main engine that runs us all
