We are capable of being great eagles soaring high above the chaos and confusion. Riding and flowing with the currents. Yet we behave like pigeons. Always pecking the ground in search of something to satisfy, something to fulfill, something to nourish.
When the awareness is focused on thoughts, on things and in the past and future it’s searching ultimately for itself. It is natural, nothing wrong with living as limited humans but we are capable of so much more.
Every cell in these bodies loves, cries, feels joy, happiness, and pain and sorrow.
Mostly we nourish our cells on a steady diet of thoughts like, “someday I will be enough,” “when I have this house, this car, the perfect body, my soulmate, enough money,” etc...etc... “then I will be happy,” “then my life will have meaning.” It is ironic how the treasure we seek on the outside by pecking the ground is already within. By letting go, surrender, by opening up, by taking time to relax as if the sky to take flight is within.
Baby steps in unfurling our wings as we realize what’s on the “outer” no longer satisfies our souls longing.
It’s the taste of authenticity and vulnerability that bathes our cells with joy.
When lovers eyes meet for a brief moment there is no thought...no concepts...no ideas...no words..no time. This is soaring! This is taking flight! Just Self recognizing itSelf and the bliss from that recognition. Then the concept of “I” and “other” barge in making themselves at home bringing their friends...thoughts of ownership, commitment, betrayal, expectations, jealousy, etc. We’ve seen our reflection in the “other” now we must possess or own it somehow and a lovely dance ensues!
When we tire of this dance and are done pecking the ground in search of fulfillment...maybe just maybe we’ll start to look within. To spread our wings by letting go of words and concepts and tracing thought back to its Source....that which animates these bodies....the beloved we’ve sought in the outer since youth. An effortless recognition that was here all along, with open arms and open wings, soaring high above the chaos, ever giving birth to itSelf in the present moment. ✨💖✨👁✨🙏✨👁👍
