Some persons are very decisive
when it comes to avoiding decisions.
Brendan Francis
My mind has been a muddle for several weeks now. I have been longing for new insight, for spiritual stimulation, and for ancient wisdom to unfold. My search has taken me to a dead end without resolution. I have been frustrated and discouraged as my expectations go unmet.
Then it is as though an unseen mentor pulls a heavy curtain to the side and I see with new eyes a passage way overlooked before. The hallway is filled with warmth, light, and understanding. It seems to embrace me in such a way that I realize I am being led down a path into the heart of my soul.
Sitting ... being ... in solitude, I find company with myself once again. I pull in all of my energy being wasted on outward searches and let it rekindle my own truth. I open my heart to trust in the spiritual process, knowing that soon I will be led.
Within hours, I receive Mark Nepo's wonderful new book, SEVEN THOUSAND WAYS TO LISTEN. I skim through it excitedly and as I go to put it on the bookshelf, I discover a writing of Gary Zukav. THE MIND OF THE SOUL resonated within me and thankfully my favorite parts are heavily highlighted! Returning to my computer, a particular DAILY OM is waiting for me about The Start of Change. And so it all falls together.
I feel alive again, empowered and ready to cartwheel down this corridor which had been temporarily hidden from me. In my own small thinking, I have been avoiding my own self-worth. Doors kept closing of course, until I was safely corralled back into the heart of my soul. I have yet again learned another lesson and it is good to be me!
