Discover the love of life

Life comes to us with many ups and downs, at times we are out in an open field, flying the most colorful kite in the sky. With each magnificent movement the kite propels itself further into the limitless heavens moving unbounded by the winds beneath its shinning colors. At other times life may appear to be a desert road, baron, without life and only the distant crack of the dry desert floor to guide your steps. You do your best to find water, shade and nourishment of any kind, in these environments but instead you find a handful of gravel and a sun that blares upon your exhausted body. The extremities in nature, often at times reflect the extremities we experience in our internal world, after all so within as without. What I have learnt through the bright kite flying and walking through the desert heat is that underneath each circumstance there is a current that will always pull us through. After all, it has from the day we were born and it will continue to pull us through until the day we die. This current is called life. It is energy, the natural force that moves the tides, the gentle breeze that pushes the kite into flight and the motivation in your mind that tells you to put one step forward when you reach out to follow that distant splinter in the desert floor.

 

As we look to the horizon on these not so pretty days, we often find a silver lining guiding those far-off  clouds. These moments of noticing such beauty, propel our soul into discovering deeper beauty. For each moment of gratitude guides us to our next moment in gratitude, if only we choose to look up for one moment.

 

But what is it that makes us raise our head and look to the sky? As I repeat this question in my mind I hear the answer echoing from the very depths of my soul…. Love will find a way. When love becomes the focus of our day, our ability to transform any situation is heightened by the true potential of our divine nature. After all the desert and its pounding heat on a summers day, does not think to itself “well I am a little too hot today, life sucks” it simply carries on allowing the seasons and the natural rhythms of nature to run its course. During the day it may be hot, at night the cool breeze may come in, the sun will set, the stars will rise and blanket the sky with light, and the dawn of a new day will always come full circle once again.

 

If we can view our life in this light, then we are able to step back from our egoic thinking, that tries to control our future and we are able to simply allow god to provide our sustenance. When I say God, what I am referring to is the knowingness of the interconnection with all things, places and people. The state of truly living from this knowingness allows us to surrender into the unknown and appreciate what is. To do this we have to be honest with ourselves and honor the intuitive impulses that speak to us in the quiet of our mind. When we combine these messages of truth with our deep surrender to God and the unknown, then our life is opened up to truly be magnificent and all that will remain are infinite supply of magical surprises.

 

When we find love in our life, no matter where it may come from, (it could be the love for a pet, a creative project, or a new romantic partnership) we should nourish that love, because love is the greatest gift. It is the greatest gift from the heavens and has the ability to transform water into wine. When we are living our life from a place of love then the cracked desert floor, the overbearing heat, or the thirst for water seems to disappear, for love becomes the provider. It is not so much about getting love from something or someone, it comes from what you produce inside while interacting with that something or someone. No amount of love that anyone gives you could ever be enough unless you created it in the first place.

 

The creation of love within us, comes from being inspired to give, to invest our heart in loving something outside of ourselves, the funny catch to how this works, is in order to love something outside of ourselves we must love ourselves! They are one of the same, but when we learn to play this new game, we find ourselves taking leaps of faith, giving more love than what we ever felt possible and trusting our intuition while being soo open and vulnerable to spread our wings and fly.

 

I am learning to trust life more and more and in every moment I give gratitude and thanks to those reflections in my life that offer me not only love but also those that offer me challenges. I realize that everything created in the outer environment is a reflection of my inner environment and by allowing nature to take its course; I become liberated to love more and see through the eyes of greatness.

 

As you shine in deep surrender and commitment to your expansive heart may your life be lifted up into new heights of celebration and prosperity. Thank you for sharing this journey of life.
