Our changlings.... Modern day awareness has brought us subtle new delights, if we but have eyes to really see. By that, I mean, look beneath the surface, to the hidden gifts, the hidden 'pot of gold'.
As medical knowledge increases, so does new understanding that the human brain is a highly complex, little understood piece of human machinery. Remarkable in its complexity. Frightening even, in its delicate balance, which often brings complex illnesses, such as hypersensitivity, bi polar, fibromyalgia and a whole array fo mental 'illnesses'. As modern medical science struggles to unravel, define, label and treat such conditions, often with a hit and miss result, there is another, more uplifting and empowering side to these remarkable individuals who battle daily amongst the rest of society. Highly sensitive to food, air, noise, stress and outside influences, are these individuals displaying what the rest of us are ignoring? That for humans to flourish and thrive at optimum levels, abstinence from such unhealthy conditions can prolong the legevity of the body and mind? Are they our healers, in disguise? Our beacons of light, showing the way forward for human kind? I like to belive so. For they are the hidden jewels. Sensitive, intuitive individuals, in touch with whats important....love, peace, respect, rest, relaxation...certainly the case for sufferers of fibro mylalgia. Should we, therefore, not cherish these souls and look to the wisdom they are indirectly imparting...that life is about being in the moment, health, family, support etc. Our changlings, between a world of fast paced, greedy, shallow lifestyles, consumerism ruling, and a world of getting back to the essential nature of natural living, food, relaxation and soul satisfying creativity? I like to think so.....
