The words resonated like the glow of an afternoon sun extending through out the sky...and if I don´t know or have all the right words to express what I feel, experience and message I am transmitting. It doesn´t matter just write, it will come about, remember its not about YOU. That last phrase alleviates any pressure related to doing something or having to accomplish anything but the art of breathing.
So what is your purpose? and it was very clear in the background as many times speaks loud and clear when laying or sitting in that silence or stillness: just be yourself! Nothing to change, nothing to reach, just be your essence. Wow, and I´ve been under the impression that I had to do SO MUCH in order to be part of the whole equation and there in the stillness of the long hike comes the voice and says just be still, just be in your silence. Nothing to drink, nothing to inhale or travel to the other side of the planet, just be still.
When I am still I can find trust and there are deep longings that emerge from the stillness, from the subtle place of dance without jumping all over the place, from the respect I feel as I enter the canyon I am privileged to hike in, that stillness permeates my whole body with trust and if I look back at my history I would have a good reason not to trust but on the contrary today I feel complete trust in that stillness because I am still here for a reason and the deeper I dive in to trust and love there are no more yard sticks to measure up to.
I am reading a book called Eat, Pray and Love, I am highlighting and tagging most of what I feel its calling me to pay attention. What I appreciate greatly in her writing is her sense of humour, that is priceless.
My message for today take things lightly, move with ease and breathe alot. One of my dear teachers once told me: Jackie just make sure you breathe and if you are breathing every thing is OK.
That simple. That is what I´ll do today. BREATHE, love and eat.
beautiful
