![]() Inside a Quiet Moment When we feel as if there is no way to heal the brokenness of our lives, and nothing appears to bring us peace or offer us the warmth we wish for, there is always a place we can go to be surrounded by what we need. To be inside a quiet moment is to give ourselves an opening into a place of togetherness, where we need not be constrained by things, and thoughts can take shape like roots that spread wherever earth and water takes them, and feelings, like rivers, can follow a path that eventually pours into an ocean’s immensity.

What If?
What if I could think without manipulating my thoughts and just let them tell me why they have come to me? What if I could let my feelings express themselves freely without trying to attach them to something else? What if my wishes were not embedded in the future but kept me focused on what’s happening right now? What if I could listen as I imagine a poet listens to the sounds of nature surrounding her? What if I could see things as I imagine an artist looks at something that has captured his attention? What if I could touch things as I imagine someone does who isn’t afraid of belonging everywhere? Being at home is being in a place of belonging, a place that wouldn’t be what it is without our presence. And there are no places in the universe we can be and not have some kind of an impact just by being there. Being at home means that we are part of a family, that we share the way we came into this world with others. And there is nothing in the universe that does not share the creative spark of life from which everything has come. We are always at home because we are always somewhere that is part of the evolving flow of creative life. Be a part of where you are right now and you are at home. * Nothing Interferes
What would it be like to think that nothing we may experience can interfere with our daily lives? What would it be like to live in the belief that by accepting whatever comes to us each day we are participating in the natural, ongoing flow of our world’s creativity? * “It” —whatever it may be-- does not interfere with daily life. Rather, it delineates it: it gives it a shape with which to help create a reality that brings us closer to the truth of our participation in the universal unfolding of a life that belongs to all. * Every “it” we meet in life is like a doorway into the truth of our innate togetherness. |
