@hadad,
When I examine the title of this thread, those two words are a bit oxy-moronic and I assume that is why the (?). We have no idea of what omnipotence is, so in that regard, anything IS possible. If those who are living such a fast pace could only slow down, I am sure they would see much more clearly. I, because of health reasons, have done just that and it is amazing what I am able to observe others just don't see.
Let me give you an example. Over the holidays my daughter came to visit me and brought my 22 month old granddaughter with her. A most remarkable little girl. My daughter suffers from back problems and is dependent on pain medications for relief. I am naturally concerned about this and have told her so. She's takes them at night mostly and has a hard time arising in the morning.
She doesn't sleep in the same room with the Munchkin (my pet name for my grandchild) and doesn't need too. I prepared a bed for my daughter in my room and that is were she slept while they were here and the Munchkin slept in the spare room by herself.
One morning when he Munchkin arose, she as always let it be known that the day had begun, ha! I went and got her out of bed, changed her diaper (she's not quite "housebroke" yet, ha!) and she came into my room where her mother was still asleep. This was about 6:00 in the morning. I thought to myself "my daughter is not going to like this" and considered taking my granddaughter out of the room and going to another one so my daughter could sleep a little longer. I thought the Munchkin would try and wake her up.
When I brought her into the room, she did call out to her and said "Mommy" and when my daughter did no respond, not a whimper did she utter; she just crawled up into her bed and put her arm around her and sat there quietly alert to everything going on in the room. She knew of her Mother's state and was protecting her until she did wake up. Unbelievable.
She knew how so very dependent she was on her Mother and wanted to make sure nothing happened to her while she slept. That hit me like a ton of bricks. Damn! What a connection there must be between Mother and child.
My daughter, because of her back is unable to work and because of this she has spent all her time with her new daughter and has given her the attention she needs; a situation so many mothers today don't get to do because they do work outside the home and just do not have the time or the patience to spend with their children.
When we speak of omnipotence and the awesome connections of what a "God" is, I saw that, that morning and the link a mother has with her child. That told me volumes. I was so grateful that I had the time to observe it for what it truly was.
My daughter carried this child for nine months and they are a part of each other. They are so close it's difficult to imaging how close they actually are. They are still that way and of course they will separate as time goes on but now they are still one. If only all Mothers could have observed this, I am sure it would have creatied a sentiment such as it did with me and perhaps even a negative one for they don't have the time to notice how close that connection is and why when they do not spend the time they need to spend with the little ones, the rebel as they do to get the attention they so desperately need.
Those of you who have been here for a while have observed my referral to a "divine connection". I see it all the time. We are connected and when we slow down and notice what we have never noticed before one becomes aware of the unity and the awesome power of it as it relates to the synergy of complimentary action. "ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE" so to speak. It is real and it does exist in ways that are difficult to describe and I hope this helped a little. It may be just a small thing that I have described here or is it?
I created a thread call Sibling Rivalry and as of yet no one has responded to it that I know of and I think it has a major bearing on what the child is capable of when they do not receive the necessary care they need and deserve as a child. Our most notorious were indeed children once. So it does matter how we attend to them. Big Time.
My daughter has made her mistakes and there is no positive male influences in my grand daughters life but me and I regret not being there more for her but I do all I can when I can. Not in a patronizing way but an attentive way. When I am there, she KNOWS I am there. Just as my daughter is.
I know many parents are not there when they need to be and frankly we all pay a price for that in the many ways as they grow and what a person will do to get the attention they never got as a child.
I do hope many will agree with what I am saying as we come to understand the universal dynamic of man/woman/child and what that represents and how much respect we must give it.
