What is unseen beauty?
It lies within your day every step you take. We are walking in our hurriedness, in our stress and most times our awareness is pointed at only that which we need to accomplish in our day. When we live in such a manner, we miss the beauty in front of us. Today, look up. Walk slowly. Listen more closely. There is a child wanting to ask you a question. There is an elderly person sitting alone at the park just wanting someone to acknowledge them. The man behind the coffee counter is having the hardest day of his life, but he hands you your order with a smile. Be present. Take your lunch away from your desk and sit in the garden, be mindful. Offer a smile, a greeting or even a moment to listen. At the end of the day, tell me of all the unseen beauty that awakened you today!

Life throws so many different challenges directly into our path at any given moment. A day does not go by where one has to step back, take a deep breath, and jump in or release and let go. But the one thing I do know after walking this far on the way is that I can do nothing for others until I have done the inner work within myself. Every talk, every retreat, every book I always will say that I practice what I preach; it is journey, never a destination. There is always going to be work, moments of forgiveness in ourselves and others, pain we unintentionally inflicted and pain we received, broken dreams and hearts that are simply a part of the path and then our little bit of light comes once we take a long look in the mirror and truly see the inner parts of ourselves that have been waiting for us to come back to our inner core; to come back home within. What in your life is asking of you to look in your mirror and come home to yourself before facing a new path in the world?
What are you carrying today?
Every day we wake up we are inevitably carrying more than we can handle at that given moment. Each day is filled with responsibilities big and small, thoughts of others in our lives who need our hand and at the foot of our day are our (cross) pains, struggles, wounds, trials and stories that we are carrying to an unknown resting place. What are you carrying? It is likely that there is one thing in your life that is holding you down at times; not every day, not every moment, but taking up space that is not allowing you to live more fully. What are you carrying? Hold this. Live this. Breathe this. Release this. Allow your being to be open to the world in front of you, not those stories that you carried for so long which hold nothing but darkness. Allow your light to come. |
