Connection


“The same stream of life that runs through my veins night and day runs through the world and dances in rhythmic measures. It is the same life that shoots in joy through the dust of the earth in numberless blades of grass and breaks into tumultuous waves of leaves and flowers. It is the same life that is rocked in the ocean-cradle of birth and of death, in ebb and in flow. I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment.” – Rabindranath Tagore

Oh, the sweet taste of connection.  We may forget this marvelous taste now and then, but it eventually makes its way back to us.  The craving starts, and we may try to satisfy it through various other means – unsuccessfully – until we realize we just have to surrender to the all encompassing Essence. And when we do… oh, the sweet taste of connection. 

Life Awaits


“We must be willing to let go of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – Joseph Campbell

Often we create so many conditions around our idea of happiness that we miss out on plenty of possibilities to actually feel happy.  Ponder today on the fact that it not life’s circumstances that stand on the way to your Essential Joy, but your expectations, attitude and thoughts about them.

Questions


Every day, it’s important to ask and answer these questions: “What’s good in my life?” and “What needs to be done?” 

Nathaniel Branden

Taking action is more effective after aligning with what is good in your life as that will elevate your state of being.
