It’s a Great Monday Morning!
I’m about to do a little meditation and then go for a morning walk. For the past month and a half, I have sat down each morning, if only for a minute or two, and I have meditated. Life has felt different; I have gone out into our world with a slight change in perspective. Different from the darkness I was feeling last year.
Interesting that in reading Deepak Chopra this morning, he writes, “It takes willingness to face the darkness before the light can come in.” This morning, these words caught my attention. I wondered about how often we turn our eyes from seeing those dark parts of ourselves. We fear accepting all of who we are.
In meditation, I have found tranquility. I sit still without judgment and I observe what passes through. Sometimes I laugh, sometimes I question and sometimes, it just is. In meditating, I have observed something that I have thought of for many years. It’s that the little boy in me is always present; he has never left my side. He is spirit that is pure, curious, joyful and loving. So long as I keep him nearby, life remains lighter.
The piece here is titled “Black and White and Red All Over #2.” It’s a self-portrait and one of a 3-piece set. The photo is of myself one hour into my life here on earth. Seeing me at that one-hour age reminds me of not just of myself, but also of everyone!
May you cherish your own spirits and allow them to shine!
