Hairdresser

Today was a frazzled day.

The kind of day I would like to forget...and know deep within myself that tomorrow I will do and be better.  I will have more patience, more understanding, more space and love at my ready disposal. 

And then I went to my friend who cuts my hair.  A much needed appointment, as my "do" was much needed for "doing".

She spoke easily and kindly, as I calmly started to unravel, telling her - as we so often do -our hairdresser and friend maybe too much. 

But today was different.

Her responses were level and clear ... and I slowly started to realize... everything I needed to hear.  It was as if she was being channeled by a gentle, familiar guide in spirit ... I was aware that I was being "spoken" to.  It was wisdom coming through, well, kind of an unusual medium for me ... my hairdresser.

She was addressing issues for me (probably unaware how directly) from 3 years ago and in the moment - all at once.  I had compassion and understanding for those situations that had both exhausted me and brought me to anger.  I clearly saw that MY stuff and my stories were in front of those very situations that caused my anguish.

All that...and a kick ass haircut.  No kidding, spirit is a powerful force.  That is one amazing, voodoo hairdresser.
