Most of us live in this paradox: we are trailing glimpses of insight, knowing why we are here, and not knowing. We both remember, and forget. We are imbued with wonder, and sometimes consumed with loss. From childhood on, we seek our purpose in a thousand ways.
The purpose of life is not to maintain personal comfort; it’s to grow the soul. The willingness and struggle that carries people through the years must be grounded in our covenants with the angel.
The work does not need to be grand, only fitting. It is guided by asking ourselves over and over: What is the next right thing?
~Christina Baldwin
when we’ve lost so many things, so many people, so many moments…….this is when we finally begin to see clearly….
inquiry for today~ don’t lose heart today……feel the subtlety of a softer awareness…..
Wisdom, free from the clouds of the two obscuring veils
Altogether pure and shining brightly like the sun
Waking us up from the sleep of our
disturbed emotions and the chains of mental habit
Scattering the darkness of not knowing.
~Tibetan prayer
