Celebrating 63 revolutions around the sun and I’m feeling a bit sentimental or nostalgic or something. It’s seems a bit surreal to think I’m 63, how did that happen? Ah yes, just another one of those things that are so completely out of my control. One thing I can say for sure, I’m much more at peace with that than when I was 36 or any other time in my history for that matter.
I get it, what is, is, the only thing that causes me to be upset about what ever may be happening is what I think or believe about it. When I fully realized that nothing is true simply because I think it or believe it a whole new level of freedom and possibility opened up for me. I still have plenty of opinions and ideas about how things are but I also know that they are nothing more than a singular point of view and there are literally millions of other ways to see any one thing. Wow! Kind of humbling but it sure makes it a lot easier to let go of any particular concept I may be viewing life through in the moment. That’s when things really change and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for that!
Another amazing thing that has unfolded for me as I’ve been hurtling around the Sun all these years is a true sense of compassion for myself (that was the hardest of all) and for others. I used to have a kind of pride about being the one who was hardest on me, thinking that somehow would make it easier to take the harshness of the world but of course that is the farthest thing from the truth. It’s been a long and arduous journey that has led me down many dark paths but it was worth every second of it. I’m still on that path and while it may not be as steep as it once was it is still a day by day, step by step journey of unraveling all the self-created illusions (thus my embrace of the dragonfly as my logo and kind of life symbol).
The human experience is simply amazing beyond words as I allow life to unfold with the grace of awareness and the compassion of love’s activity in and through me. Every day in some way I am able to live my soul mission to make life a little kinder, a little gentler, and a little sweeter by bringing comfort, compassion and understanding wherever it is needed. I am grateful for every avenue of expression and all those who have blessed me through their being all along the way.
On this the 63rd anniversary of my emergence onto this beautiful planet I say thank you Life and thank you to all those who share the journey with me in whatever way that may be!
Namaste!
