Week 63 - Sitting in the Power

REACH BEYOND FOR YOUR INNER LIGHT

With gratitude I open this morning’s meditation. I enjoy greeting each of you. Saturday morning greetings have become a sound byte that resonates respect, warmth and an authentic salutation that I feel in my heart. Sometimes I have fun with it as I say your names; always I feel excitement in its redundancy.

The language of the heart can be challenging to express at times because of all the emotions that ride along with it. I witness your heart even if you don’t speak. I know you because I know me. 

We are living in challenging times. Another mile marker is approaching – Thanksgiving Day. The holiday is a burden for some and a joy for others.

The truth of Thanksgiving Day has come more to the forefront with the knowledge of the harm and hurt afforded to indigenous people that resulted in the idea of Thanksgiving Day. May all beings find compassion.

Not everyone can afford food on Thanksgiving Day. May all beings find ways and means to feed their hearts and bodies.

People are suffering with no ease in their lives – May all beings find comfort and peace in their minds and bodies.

I often hit a WAL when I am expressing words from my heart. An acronym W-A-L – Words Are Limiting. The language of the heart is beyond words, beyond utterance of syllables.

The language of love is silent yet known by everyone.  Love is expressed through our eyes, through our hands, through our actions, through our deeds, our thoughts, our visions, our intentions. Universally we communicate with each other. Our first step is to believe we can. Then the river is open and love travels.

In our fractured lives, we find the moments, the experiences that demonstrate our truth. We follow the light. We communicate the love. We view with compassion and hold space for the suffering.

We are linked by love, and when we struggle, which we will again, remember to lean into your community. Allow yourself to reach back into your memory of the sacred. Don’t accept your inner critic but reach beyond to your inner light.

Thank you for your trust. Thank you for your friendship. Thank you for listening and sharing. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you for honoring and respecting yourself. Thank you for being you.
