A Thousand Petals

Spirituality is a flower with a thousand petals: every act, every thought, every talk, every movement of our heart is a part of it  ~  Robert Muller

Sometimes it is hard to escape the hurt, the disappointment, those feelings of inadequacy that have a way of corroding our good intentions.  We need to recognize the illusions we carry with us. These negative energies have the power to strip us of our purpose and divert us from our intended course. We need to stay on our spiritual path.   Love is what we are at the deepest level and it is what we are here to do. We live for these moments. To love and be loved. To give and to receive. Love can be so simple. If we would just let it be.

When we allow love into our hearts. When we embrace the very heart of us. We become one. Our words, our actions, our thoughts will burst into a cascade of a thousand petals.

Silence

In order to see birds it is necessary to become part of the silence ~ Robert Lynd

To sit in silence. To sit motionless, in anticipation and appreciation of nature’s gift.
A symphony of birds and colorful feathers of every hue. We should not envy the birds their freedom. Instead, we should embrace their moments of soaring, and dipping
in the wind. Their rightful command of the sky.

Lighted Flame

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us ~ Albert Schweitzer

It doesn’t happen very often, if ever, that someone comes along and rekindles that
spark of life energy within us.  Especially when we have lived a full life and get to
a point where we feel that perhaps we have experienced all that we deserve in this
illusion called ‘Life’.   So, when that someone appears, seemingly out of nowhere,
and shakes things up a bit. Embrace and Engage.
