So while I am envisioning what I would like to accomplish and experience in this life, I am learning to trust more, that my purpose will be revealed. All I have to do is pay attention… to the signs and opportunities and not be afraid to take risks or fail. In Davidji’s meditation today Click here for meditation he spoke of dharma (purpose)… and asked what it was that made time stand still for me and what brought me joy and fulfillment. My answer was this: making music, making pictures, inspiring others and hiking. As he suggested, I put it out into the universe and I will let go of the outcome and trust that, like everything, all will be revealed. Meanwhile, I am enjoying my new surroundings, nesting, healing, caretaking my dog who is recovering from ACL surgery, and I have begun taking steps to find a job. Yep, it’s a new mirror… and I’m intrigued by the reflections I may see…some I will like and some I won’t. As long as I don’t get too caught up in the reflection, like Narcissus, I will be just fine. I love how Pema suggests to lean into whatever feels ugly and uncomfortable….and look at it not with disdain, but curiosity. Not always easy to do, but when I do it, I feel an unconditional love for myself and then I feel so happy, because I know I can love another in the same way.
