What is my imprint? My imprint has changed a million times over the years and it depends upon who you ask. Imprints seem to be like what kind of memories we leave behind, or feelings when others think of us. Our affect on other people could be our imprint on them. The imprint I leave behind on this planet, to my imprint I leave behind to my children, as well as the imprint left on my husband.
I am not driven by what imprint I leave behind, anymore than anyone else. I believe we all do our best in each moment and when we know better we do better, and then the imprint changes again.
There seems to be two sides of the imprint, what we feel we left behind and what others feel and that can be two entirely different feelings.
Are imprints like the residual affect of our choices, the aftermath of an action? I believe the imprints are out of our control. Imprints are decided on the side of the receiver, not on the side of giver.
So what is my imprint? Well that will depend upon who you ask…..and I love how I can just be myself and do what I love and not worry about my imprint, it isn't my job. My job is to bring my truthful self into each new moment, and when I leave, you will decide how that imprints on you, and off I go.
Freedom comes when you don't have a certain flavor of imprint, but just arriving and be in reality. How nice it is to know that imprints are not our job, at least not of ourselves. But maybe you want to remember others as you would like to be remembered, in understanding. Understanding that given that state, you too may have acted that way. Allow them free will, but get out of their way, knowing what their imprint will do for you, it may be best to walk away, asking for space.
We too have the freedom to receive others imprints or not. If all they have to offer us is pain, we can say no. And I welcome others to say no to me, for I know what it is like to have others imprints forced upon me. I only want to be with folks who can tolerate my imprint. Birds of a feather flock together.
