As I walk through the restaurant, memories pour through me. I look at
the table that Steve and I sat at each time we stepped into this place.
It feels surreal. I walk past that empty table and for a moment I see
him sitting there. I am transported into a moment where the spirit world
is right here and no veil separates us. I walk through the hallway and
look at the familiar pictures on the walls. My human eyes gaze outward
yet I am focused inside where I am filled with feelings. I looked at
these pictures so many times before but today I get closer and the
details move me deeper.
When
I am present with myself, I feel the inner landscape. The internal
world, filled with so much of my personal history, also holds the
mystery of spirit. As painful as these moments can be, I am filled and
enriched with more expression and truth as I awaken a little more to who
I am. These familiar places can be a distraction, but when I
consciously breathe and am still within, they provide connection to more
life that is present in every moment.
Being
present moves me closer to that which joins and allows union. I see the
world as another opportunity to share in this expression of unity
consciousness. Step-by-step, as we walk in our ordinary worlds awake and
conscious, we slip into a vast inner world that knows everything and
nothing at the same time. We open up to every so called problem and
allow our hearts to call on spirit to show us the way to what is true.
Joined here within the heart of the one that creates anew, we become
illuminated with the light that sees all as one moment in time. We are
free to choose life or simply choose love.
It's
not always easy to find our way back to our own hearts. We like to
travel away into the busy life of distraction and doing. Yet no matter
how long or how far we stray, returning home to the present moment is
only a breath away. From this place of connection we can spring forward
into the next moment instead of staying stuck in a past that does not
serve us any longer.
The
moment brings memories and yet now it helps you heal and remember what
is real. Love prevails and the miracle is seen as the eyes are open
again and what is seen heals everything that has been. The art of
stillness brings the truth out into the open. The artist begins to paint
a new picture. The singer sings a new song. And through the writer
words again flow. The woman finds her purpose. A man becomes devoted to
his true self. We awaken and now we consciously chop wood and carry
water. Everything is alive and flowing again.
Blessed Be
