The Human Spirit

We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside of us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch.  Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit. ~E.E. Cummings American poet 1894-1962 Remember to have compassion when we display our human ways.  We forget, repeat, stumble, and fall.  We soak up criticism more readily than compliments, and are challenged by lessons continuously.  It is no wonder we struggle to remember we are spiritual beings having a human experience. So easily we forget we are truly a child of God or Divine Spirit or the Universe.  We can be so overwhelmed by the physical or material world, we get disconnected from our true intentions for living. The fast pace of life whooshes by our ears, deafening the whispers from our soul.  We become so mesmerized by looking out into the world, we forget the sacredness within us.  The farther we reach out, greater is the distance between balance of body, mind, and spirit.  Then we feel so alone even though we never really are separated. The human spirit travels out into the world for discovery, only to turn around and find the way back home to the shelter of the heart.  The journey has not been made in vain, as the life lessons have carved us into who we have become and who we have needed to be. When we can remain aware of our inner connection with God, Divine Spirit, or the Universe, it is so much easier to let our human spirit unfold.  There is a greater sense of being a part of a spiritual team to help in decision making, spreading the light, and making the world a better place to be ... one human spirit at a time ... joining together ... and all becoming one.
