Everything is Energy

I don't see the world as you do ...

Without glasses all I see is swirling colors ...

As a little girl I thought this was normal for everyone because it was normal for me.

One of my hardest life lessons was finding out I wasn't normal. I wasn't like everyone else.

Many people think I have been given special gifts. Maybe they are right and maybe they are not.

For the longest time I used to think of my "gifts" as a curse.

Being different is not easy. It is much easier to simply fit in.

That is why mental hospitals are filled with "gifted" people.

Most people are scared of anyone and anything that is different ...

I never set out to be a shaman, it is simply a label that helps people understand a little of who I am.

It doesn't define me nor does it fully explain me but it helps to take away some of the fear for many people because labels and definitions create certainty for them.

I am who I am and that is enough for me. I no longer try to figure everything out, neither life, nor myself. Instead I have learned to accept and be grateful.

Grateful for every life experience that comes my way.

In Love and Gratitude,
Antonia Ruhl
