the bigger picture

i am reminded to stay centered and focused on the bigger picture of my life. the bigger picture is how the universe sees me and the part i play while i live here on earth. when i am able to focus for a time on this... WOW! i remember why i chose to be here, why i chose all the details of my life so that all would blend perfectly with creation. the times i cannot stay centered, i feel my physical pain more deeply, allowing my brain to spin in circles. this creates a day or two of inactivity, boredom, time that feels unproductive even as i am living it. i know why i am here and that brings such joy! i understand i have work to accomplish in service that brings great peace in just thinking about it. so i question why i seem to become lazy when there is so much to do? i may never know the answer, perhaps one is continue with self-healing and honoring each day even if i do not approve of how i spent the time. another is allowing myself to feel the awesome love of the universe every day, not just occasionally and asking in learning how not only to be gentle to my heart when my brain says i am slacking and finally always asking for support. it is always there.

we are light

a friend mentioned she needed to be cleansed. going through some turbulent, emotional times in her life now, she is feeling dark or ugly. there are many wonderful ways to approach this ritual that i am aware of and could find more if i asked friends. however, what i shared with her that i felt was the easiest and most effective way was to simply fill yourself with light. allowing the light from our loving Source (whatever name you use) to fill you, flow through you, bathe yourself in this perfect light is the most appropriate method. we are light, we come from light, from the Source. we are just making that reconnection with our own light that seems to have become dull, painful, angry. one can put their own name to why they feel disconnected, dark etc but reminding ourselves that we are light-filled beings and if we but focus on that rather than the opposite, we will feel cleansed and we will "feel" lighter. filling every aspect of our lives, homes, thoughts, etc. with light clears as well. clearing away what feels like denseness will require a committment that is well worth it.

let love speak

let love speak... the words in a song i heard recently. so eloquent and yet so simple. do we allow love to speak? do we open our hearts and hear the vibration that is so perfect for all, connecting us with one another? and do we listen to the love that pours out of our hearts when we offer just a whisper of invitation? love is the answer, love is light and that is what will fill us with joy, will heal us, will transform us. let love speak...
