Truthfully, I am grateful for the major shift; it needed to happen. I am at peace with the concept of the shift. The details, hitches, twists and turns; however, leave me feeling less than at peace. In fact, I am probably the most ungrounded as I have been in a very long time. It takes a lot to get air between my feet and the earth.
There have been so many posts related to peace, healing, love, moving forward, transition, on Facebook lately. Each one makes it sound so simple and easy. I read the post, smile, embrace the content, nod my head in full agreement and then click "share" so maybe someone else can experience that refreshing clarity--as fleeting as it may be.
And yet, no sooner do I share that post than do I return to that previous state of uncertainty.
Today, as I do in the mornings, I reached over to read the inspirational thought for the day from my book Spiritual Diary. I share it with you here.
"Live each present moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each instant. Practice the presence of peace. The more you do that, the more you will feel the presence of that power in your life." ~~~ Paramahansa Yogananda, SRF Lessons
I have read this multiple times today. A year ago, I completely resonated with this. This is where I spent my days. How did I wander off so far? I am an eternal traveler, but how could I leave such a secure space?
We know "things happen for a reason." I do believe this. More than that, I believe everything that happens in our lives, every choice we make and the ensuing consequence, is a lesson. We are here to learn those lessons and whether or not we learn them is our karma.
I am making the most concerted effort every day to open my heart and mind to this current life lesson. There is something mighty big in there for me to learn because otherwise, it wouldn't be this difficult.
That little paragraph above that I shared with you is my key. Now to find the matching keyhole in my soul.
Peace.
