“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
Sit, observe your breath for a moment, and listen. Feel the textures and nuances of the Now and see your life, and all the rough edges of it, as perfect. Choose to bring periodic moments of stillness into your experience today. What do you notice? With each new circumstance or interaction, seek to discover something new.
Each path is unique. When we choose to embark upon adventures into the unknown, we discover opportunities to learn. For one who is a conscious participant, life becomes a consistent, loving conversation with the Divine.
Change allows us to explore aspects of ourselves that we may not have yet discovered. The journey of the soul is one of experience and contrasts ultimately provide insight and compassion. Understanding the yin and yang of a situation teaches the value of balance as well as the beauty of dark and light playing off one another.
Ultimately, love makes itself known. Act from the heart and allow circumstances to unfold as they will. Your journey will offer the perfect experiences for your growth. Letting life be is an act of self love.
