I Found Love

A few days ago I completed my 30 days of continuous blogging. I have kept at it, as I need 5 more days to go to finish up my 30-day project of “In the News.” Aside from photocopying an image inspired by the day’s news and adding my twist to it, I have photocopied my blog for that particular day. It’s definitely been a challenge and I’m looking forward to it being done. I can definitely say that I have found some interesting things in the newspaper.

#3) Who Dies by Stephen Levine. I feel I started my ‘soul searching’ quest at a very young age. At 7 years old, I started helping Papa on weekends and days off from school. During those times of work, I had plenty of free time to wonder and think. I started questioning the meaning of life.
In Who Dies, Stephen asks the question “Who am I?” He answers it with, “I am the pure observing spirit.” WOW! I felt like everything stopped. Here was the answer to the question I had been asking myself for most of my life. It felt right and true. At that moment my ‘soul searching ‘ quest came to an end.

I realized that there was no search to find me. Me was indefinable, ever-changing. At that moment I started ‘soul-experiencing.’ I coined this term for myself. Rather than look for answers or judge myself for NOT being ‘perfect’ or on the ‘right’ path, I would observe me, as if watching a movie. After all these years, I could sit back and enjoy. I felt liberated.

I must admit that this ‘movie’ has had its ups and downs and so I keep coming back to those words. I AM THE PURE OBSERVING SPIRIT.
The piece here is titled “She Found Love.” It’s a very simple piece and I choose it today because when I let go of searching for me, I found love for myself.

My you love you.
