Loving Kindness, Need Apply
Hello Fellow Travelers,
Hope your week is going well! We had our first snow of the season last week. It brought us from a gorgeous, warm, long autumn right smack in the middle of extreme cold and snow.
It was a bit shocking to our senses that is for sure. The trees, roses, pansies and snapdragons (yes there were still flowers blooming in November) froze in time.
I liken this experience to the experiences that my fellow traveling companions on the spiritual path may be having.
Sometimes it's messy (last message) and sometimes we get frozen in our tracks. I know we have all had times in our lives when we were cruising along, enjoying the extra added benefits of something lovely when all of a sudden, it all changes.
It matters not if the change was welcome or not welcome. It matters not if the change was anticipated or if it came from nowhere. It matters not if the change was long awaited or instantly manifest. And it matters not if the change was subtle or obivious, internal or external.
Whatsoever it is that has changed for you in seeming moment, remember to give yourself time to move with the change. Honor yourself with an awareness of your own pace. Give yourself space. Give yourself room. Give yourself whatsoever you are needing in order to catch up with whatever instant change has occurred.
We change so much each and every day. We awaken, move about, are still, spend time alone, with others, are indoors or outside, connect and disconnect. We are always changing and with each passing moment we can either choose to honor the changing inner and outer landscapes that grace our days or we can ignore them. Ignoring them brings unwanted pain and suffering, as would be the case if we ignored the plummeting temperatures last Monday!
Honoring ourselves with loving kindness, and compassion for the flexible nature of our very existence is key.
Honor yourself this week with loving kindness for the unique and flexible soul in a human body that you are! Even and especially even if you do not think you are.
Remember each day is full of change. It is the nature of this world.
Be in peace, give yourself the space, room and awareness to go at your own pace and never ever forget to add extra helpings of loving kindness to every one of your days.
And Remember...
Have a blessed week.
Mary
