Darkness and Light

"Only you can find yourself by losing yourself again and again

in the deep darkness of your driving desires."

Debasish Mridha

Fill your lovely self with light and then step into darkness. It is within the darkness that you can uncover that which restrains. When you listen to the voices that whisper, information is gained which can uncover blockages. The discovery of what is hidden can move you towards clarity and healing.

The brilliance of light is what bonds you with spirit and attracts connections with others. Light enables you to navigate into darkness to unearth lessons. Both the dark and the light are pivotal aspects of the healing journey. You may not have control over what is stored in the dark, but you do have choice regarding action.

In darkness, you are able to sort through stacks of debris. You can pitch the stagnant themes while revitalizing suppressed desires. Examination of barriers can determine if they are self-projected or indeed real. You must be willing to lace your lovely self between both darkness and light to fully understand who you truly are.

The Power of a Smile

"Believe in true beauty and the power of a loving smile                                                                                                  because it can reveal the ultimate magic of life."

Flash a smile and feel the immediate uplifting results.  Even if just for one moment, we can interrupt our repetitive negative patterns.  Then we can smile and enjoy the reaction from others.  We might have brightened their day, lifted sadness, or established a connection.

Smiles are free, even when we are in the depths of loss.  It is the first step to healing even if it is insincere.  The heart notices the positive energy no matter how brief it might be and reminds us to look up, not down.

With practice, we begin to strap a smile on our face no matter what the day.  We slowly begin to identify with smiling, as a way of exchange without communication or giving even when we are not ready to receive.  Smiles are free so give generously!
