Oh yeah - I heard that one and laughed at first. Who would’ve thought I’d be a Tall One? Only, have you ever thought you’re not from around here? I don’t mean in a strange way, just this kind of vague feeling that you don’t 100% fit in, like you’re the only child with divorced parents in a room full of kids whose parents are together. There’s just some things they don’t understand, or rather, there are just some things in your life experience that others haven’t experienced. It’s fine - everybody’s different, but I remember as a child lying in bed wondering if I was from the moon, or Mars, or Jupiter. I wondered what it would be like to live on the moon, how you’d breathe, what it would feel like, wondered if your body would feel different. Over the years I’ve talked to different people who would look at me and say, “Oh, you’re from the Pleiades,” or “You must be from Sirius,” and sometimes I even wanted to agree with them, so we could be star buddies, er, planet buddies, but nothing ever felt right.
Besides, we’re HUMAN, right? What does that even mean, “where am I from?” but if you really stop and just think about it a little, why isn’t it possible that we come from different places? There sure are a lot of different kinds of people. Teachers, warriors, babies, adults, healers, writers. But where are those ‘places?’ Are they physical places, and could we see them through telescopes? Why would I even care? Why spend any time thinking about it? Yes, I get teased about the ‘strange’ things I think about sometimes, but I’ve learned that that’s just who I am - I’m the one who thinks about the possibilities. I travel out to those far places, then bring back whatever information I find. I’m a spiritual adventurer, perhaps. The closest I ever got to feeling that maybe somebody was onto something in regards to helping me figure out where I’m from was a really wise young woman who said I was from a place that was BEHIND some other star (can’t remember which star, though - maybe it was a planet).
My other clue came when my friend Jodi told me that I came to her in a dream one night. She said I was a 12 foot tall column of rainbow light. I laughed and first asked her how she knew it was me. She said she just knew. Then we laughed, because of course I was a TALL column of light. My friend Christeen said I had to be tall this lifetime to hold all of my energy. I think that’s true, that, and the fact that Dad’s 6’7” - genetics, you know. But when Lisa looked at me yesterday and said, “The Tall Ones,” I looked at her and said, “Why did you just say that?” We were sitting at the dining room table, and she was sketching my Shadow Portrait. “That’s where you’re from,” she said. Just something about HOW she said it - I started crying. Don’t ask me why - I’ve given up trying to figure a lot of stuff out these days. I just know that she helped me find part of my Truth. I asked her where I was from - she said, “Not from around here.” Okay, so now THAT’S the closest anyone’s ever been able to come in helping me figure it all out. Not a Star Person, not an Earth Person, but this ‘other.’
Do you feel like an ‘other’ sometimes? It doesn’t have to be a spiritual question, really. It could be about child-raising, or cooking, or at work, or in your family of origin. It’s this feeling that you may want to fit in with others sometimes, but in the end, if you’re true to yourself, if you’re just YOURSELF, then you have the greatest shot at finding more like you, of finding your Family. Of finding who you belong with, and where you come from. I don’t know why it matters, but it seems to matter right now. I want to know. I’ve decided to start a regime (starting Monday). 1/2 hour of just sitting, being open to the All, of seeing what comes up, then the next 1/2 hour in writing down whatever I’m sensing, or feeling, or getting. I will do it for 28 days, for the month of February, and see if it works for me, and if I want to keep going. I want to do more of my personal Work - I’ve spent 20 years in doing a lot of outer Work of helping others, and that’s my calling. Don’t get me wrong - I’ve done an unbelievable amount of inner Work as well, but this feels like something different, like integrating that inner and that outer so I can finally step onto the worldwide scene and do more good. That’s all I’ve ever wanted to do, anyway. Get to talk about my Diamond Work I’m seeing, and the big Secret that made my forehead hurt when I received the information. I can’t wait - I don’t know how long it will take, but I know I’m on my way. I’m a Tall One - I should be able to get a good view of what’s ahead. What a crack up - seriously. Who would’ve ever thought of that? Apparently not me - thank you, Lisa, for those important four little words - they’ve helped me immensely. “You’re a Tall One.” Yes I am, Lisa, yes, yes I am. Who are YOU?
