"To meet everything and everyone through stillness, instead of mental noise, is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe.” Eckhart Tolle
Take a deep breath. Please. And another.
In the spirit of these last days of retrograde Mercury in Virgo . . . and of the moon renewing itself in Virgo early this morning, I'm going to keep this note simple.
Every new moon is born out of the dark. And this empty dark is fertile ground for the nourishing seed of your desire to notice the difference between the voice within you which is clear and present, and that other voice . . . the one which isn't yours anyway.
Please be aware of any thoughts or words rising within you which are blaming you for being inadequate. They are ghosts of other times and other people. They do not belong to you. Simply say STOP. Do not let these confidence-bashing words into your head any more. And if you feel yourself picking away critically at someone else, please just stop. When you try to analyze what's happening, you will only find yourself standing in a deeper hole.
We are being tutored in the fine art of humility. This is a different concept than shame. Please be sure you notice the difference.
What if a humble approach to our lives means that we focus our attention on the nobility of a simple squash lying in the garden rather than on the blathering voice coming out of our television or radio or from inside our head?
What if humility means quieting our minds so that we can remember to lift our eyes to the dark, luminous night sky where hundreds of thousands of birds are migrating at night, guided by the stars?
Today is the perfect time to notice the perfection in all things, and to let that awareness be enough.
Many rich blessings upon you.
