Uncorrupted Gaze

"It is a rare gift to venture into the unexplored depths of the self,

without delusions or fictions, but with an uncorrupted gaze."

Friederich Nietzsche

When a pause presents itself, we begin to think of errands or activities to fill the uncomfortable void, rather than becoming still with introspection.  There is much to be learned from our outer awareness, but there are deep treasures awaiting within.

Time is generously given to outward appearances of our home, body, and placement, while equal attention to our inner parts tends to be limited. When we take inventory and update who we are inside, we shed people, places, and things that no longer nurture our soul.

When we honor our spiritual self by displaying it with our public identity, our sense of self becomes stronger.  We discover what needs to be shifted, claimed, or excavated.  Loneliness is replaced by a new sense of living resonating throughout our core.
