Undimmed Eyes

                                             

         

"The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness." Nikos Kazantzakis

When we get lost in our own darkness, we can spend days, months, or even years feeling unworthy and invisible. Even when we seek light, the path is not always clear and it may be quite lengthy. Although tempted to settle into an unfulfilling life, we feel nudged within encouraging us to continue moving forward.

We may find ourselves slowing down as we don't know where we are going or being hesitant as we don't know how this particular piece will fit into the larger puzzle of the life we yearn to create. The key of course is to keep our eyes open and to accept that we don't need to know all of the answers in order to move forward.

When we have lived numerous years as a human, we can look back and notice the unseemly connectedness between aspects of our journey thus far. Remembering how one step led to another inspires us to be brave while waiting for directions or following opening passageways. Enlightenment awaits.
