Who am I to say this is the way? Only my heart, with my soul and my stream of consciousness can know what is “my” path. To say one is wrong or right, implies we are some how on the same path. Are we?
Who am I to say with confidence what this universe is here for? My mind could not possibly comprehend this infinite stream of wisdom, let alone impose such a suggestion, yet my ego tries to understand. Only with an open heart, mind and spirit am I allowed into a space of learning, humbly reminded moment to moment of how little I “know.”
Who am I to stand in the place of our ancestors and pretend to hold some secret key to the sacred knowledge? I can only become clear within my own vessel potentially connecting with a memory of who I once was, where I once traveled and those gifts I have carried once before. This is the place I know I AM.
For you, I know nothing. For her, I know even less. For him, I only know we stand on the same earth. We are all here. Our bodies are more alike than different, our hearts appear to beat similarly, creating life within each vessel we carry. However, my eyes, connected to my brain seeing this world drastically different from that of any other. For this I am thankful.
My heart swells with gratitude in knowing my own uniqueness brings a greater purpose than I may even understand in this moment. This same uniqueness brought each of you here, to teach, learn, grow and ascend within this life. Thankful, I am, to feel this much truth, at this time.
Surrendering my mind or ego, swings a door open to celebrate who I am, on this path, recognizing each and every moment in this life is a beautiful opportunity. The more awkward, uncomfortable or difficult, the bigger the gift. The deeper the surrender, the quicker the reflection and movement through those times. For this I remind myself to breathe with the flow of life.
May we all be blessed upon our paths, within our hearts, filled with unconditional love. Seeking only our own purpose, a gentle kiss of kindness remains as we are brushing by those we encounter along our way. Smiling upon our fellow beings bringing us moment to pause and reflect deeper, as they have come to teach and help us.
Torri, once again, thank you for your beautiful, inspiring words!
