Search For Self

Like the moon,

come out from behind

the clouds!  And Shine!

Buddha

We are all called to step out of our darkness and be present in the moment, being fully all that we can be.  It is a calling that will prompt the shedding of all that no longer serves, and at last placing those old burdens down. 

We are being asked to love, listen, and accept others whether we are aligned with them or not, as this would be called respect of diversity.  There is no obligation to fix, change, or persuade any one else to a particular way of thinking.  We need to live by our own example.

Suffering occurs when we resist the change that brings new growth.  To resist new growth is to in a sense die as the fear of change triggers despair and aborts the search for what we seek to know

Fear encourages us to react when ultimately we need patience to wait.  It is in the waiting that what we seek can become clear and generate affirmations to carry us forward again. 

Release the pain that resides within, and in that space fresh light comes in to help begin anew.  Do not give up this search for self for it is what you are here to do.  Step out from behind the clouds of your life and stop hiding this very special 'you'!
