The Gift Within Your Grasp.

My darlings, this morning I find inspiration through the words of author, John Welwood who shares,

“Forget about enlightenment.
Sit down wherever you are
And listen to the wind singing in your veins.
Feel the love, the longing, and the fear in your bones.
Open your heart to who you are, right now,
Not who you would like to be.
Not the saint you’re striving to become.
But the being right here before you, inside you, around you.
All of you is holy.
You’re already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out, touch in, let go.”

I was so moved, and likewise compelled to share – as I know many of the questions I receive daily are related to an aspect of feeling overwhelmed.

When we are overwhelmed, we lose touch with the inherent flow of peace within. That rhythmic pulse keeping pace with the transience of season and breeze and butterfly wings.

We chase enlightenment like a squirrel through the trees, never fully realizing the gift within our grasp.

“All of you is holy.
You’re already more and less
Than whatever you can know.
Breathe out, touch in, let go.”

In peace, my loves…

Namaste ❤️
