As I sat down here, I fell into the spaciousness of my life.
Just taking it piece by piece: this is how I really need to live life these days.
…Matters of the heart. Spirit. Divinity. Grace. Creativity. Service. Humility. I am opening to a vast landscape.
...I can scarcely fathom it. I can feel the largeness of life coming toward and filling me – like an ocean wave. But I am not tousled by it, just baptized once again.
Focusing on intimate connection with others, opening to whatever the moment brings – loss or renewal. Allowing the spirals of this life to journey through me.
Letting go of the clouds in the mind and opening my eyes to this moment’s spring glory: countless bright green leaves blowing against the steady backdrop of sea blue sky.
It is not the question: “Can we do this?” Rather, it is the practice of how.
Allowing everything to become spacious (which requires relinquishing a hold on control), stepping up to what is before us, will lead us anew to the honest possibilities of our lives.
