Unfolding Like A Lotus

Say not, "I have found the truth,"
but rather, "I have found a truth."

Say not, "I have found the path of the soul."
Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path."

For the soul walks upon all paths.

The soul walks not upon a line,
neither does it grow like a reed.

The soul unfolds itself,
like a lotus of countless petals.

THE PROPHET by Kahlil Gibran


As we move through our day, let us try to have an expanded sense of self and a higher awareness of all life.  Let us face any threat as a challenge rather than a negative force, believing that we have the skills to navigate successfully through life with an open heart.  And by all means, develop a sense of humor!

We carry a responsibility for our inner self to always try to do our best overcoming temptations.  Frequently, what appears to be the easier way will ultimately lead to more difficulty. 

Embrace your spirit in spite of weakness, being the best you can be, as integrity (being who you are when no one is looking) is a great achievement.  The more you respect your self,  the higher your self esteem will grow.

Be creative in any aspect of your life that you can.  Nurture your soul and gently tend to your physical needs.  Light a candle in celebration of your very soul unfolding like a lotus.
