My darlings, what does it mean to live a meaningful life?

Is it a reflection of the sum total composite of all that we’ve done, or – is it derived from a purpose, yet fulfilled? So often we look either to the past or to the future to derive our ‘meaning’ – though, in reality, isn’t our best representation manifested in the here and now?

And, what if ‘meaning’ is comprised of many different layers, continuously shifting to accommodate the complexity of our heart’s greatest desire?

“There is…a search for purpose which goes on in almost everyone.” writes Buddhist teacher and former hospice worker, Rodney Smith. “We all search for a context to validate ourselves. Once we discover it, we can then commit our energy and resources, and it will carry over into everything we do.”

Though, what if we never find it? What if, it can’t be seen?

Oh, my darlings – just look at those thoughts we tend to believe. To suggest that within this great big and beautiful earth, there is not one thing – not one – that speaks to ‘meaning.’

Often we lose our sense of life’s much deeper meaning. That is, to inform happiness, compassion and joy into every aspect of our being.

We slip into the rigors of our day-to-day, and in that process – lose touch with our place. We forget that our role is to seek in order to find that meaning.

And then we must ask ourselves every single day – what steps are we taking to inform this peace within?

Because, when we look at how we actually live our lives we find – the path we’ve been seeking is the one we’ve been on.

In peace, and namaste my loves ~ ❤️
