From the Heart
The softest new bud grows out into the world, every encounter a lesson, an opportunity or threat. The bud trusts as it grows into itself that it will find it’s place in nature. As we spread out into the world, take chances, face our fears and become ourselves, we should also remember and trust that there is a place for us. Like the buds on the trees, we to have our place and part to play in nature.

There comes a time when we begin to realise who we are, we begin to see where we are going and start to understand what is really valuable in life. At this point we start to let go of what no longer serves us. Whatever this may be, just let it fall away and allow space for now.

At times in life it can feel like we are out in the wild, the environment is harsh and it feels like we are very much on our own. Sometimes we are in the right place, even though it might not feel like it, sometimes we go out into the wild to give it life.

Blossom soon covers the harshness of winter when spring arrives and those harsher days are soon forgotten. Enjoy the blossom of life changing for the better, but don’t forget the lessons the challenges taught as the seasons will always change again.

I’m full of understanding on occasion and then again on others, I’m full of doubt. I spend a lot of time thinking of what it’s all about, why we are here and our true purpose, what happens afterwards and if there is in fact a life after death. These questions, for me are some of the biggest questions, because we don’t know the answers for sure and I’m guessing we won’t or are not meant to.
Religions, philosophers, spiritual leaders and many different ways of life try to point us in the right direction, but it is left for us to reach our own conclusions. I like to listen and consider these different pointers, it fascinates me and I’m constantly left in a state of wonder.
I believe in life after death, I believe that consciousness continues in another form and science is starting to agree, but I’m not sure where it lives. Maybe it’s all around, maybe in the air that we breathe in and out each day, maybe it’s here but our eyes don’t see, or maybe in another dimension altogether. I’m confused and doubtful on occasion and on others I instinctively know I’m onto something. I have always had a firm belief in life after death but as I don’t know for sure what happens to that life, I’m also left with doubts.
I believe in the spirit, consciousness, call it what you like. I believe the spirits that have moved on can communicate through and to us if we are open and listen. Only this morning somebody told me to go put a permit on my car, I did and there was a warden standing there ready to put a ticket on it. Okay this could have also been my own sub-consciousness, but if it was, it spoke in the middle of another train of thought completely and saved me a parking ticket. Then there are those things I’m told I don’t unconsciously know, work that out, I can’t!
There are no clear answers in life and I believe it is good to be sceptical, I worry about those that instantly believe in everything they are told, I’m interested in new ideas. I mean, we once thought the world was flat, but I like to consider these ideas in my own time, think about what they say to me. If we question something it means that we give it our attention and think about it, that has to be healthy.
I doubt we will get the answers, just yet anyway, because we are not ready for them, we are still working on ourselves, some people more than others. Some people dedicate their whole lives to spirituality, to understanding purpose and looking for enlightenment. If I was in charge I might think they needed to know, but then I think again and doubt myself, because if they were told all the answers they would feel a responsibility to share it with everyone else. You see there are no clear answers, just lots of questions and a good few doubts!
Daily Prompt – Doubt
If the path ahead was paved with gold it would certainly be easy to see. But there is also a hidden path that requires focus, asks that we remember all the twists and turns in case we need to find our way back. This path will reveal things along the way. It might require more courage, may be harder to tread but it might well be the one we need to walk.
There are many paths down which we can travel, some easier than others, all reach the same destination but only one of these paths is for each of us. The pathways we choose through life build us, teach us and strip away the false to reveal what is the truth.
You may not always be able to choose the path through life you want, but you can think about every step you take.

Some of us have big holes inside, holes of experience that need filling with love, holes that need care. But as we continue to grow these can be the things that make us special, these can be the very things that make a difference to those we meet.

Closed or open minded, we are all going the same way. A closed mind will just not see the destination as clearly as the person who is open to the experience.

As the flower sheds its pollen despite the fact it may not ever reach its destination, so we should send love out into the world. The flower sends in attempt to create, our love if sent can make a difference and create something wonderful, to send love out is to make that difference.

What is real is at the heart centre of each of us, it is the pure self. The self that is emptiness, the self that is timeless and beyond anything else. To be truly aware of oneself, one should attempt to seek the silence within, the pure state of consciousness that is at the centre of everything that is.
Easier said than done with the constant chatter of the mind to distract us. How many times do we put off meditation because of something external that distracts us. The walk in nature interrupted by thoughts of the city or just pure self sabotage. How often do we actually breath with awareness and take time out of life to find ourselves.
The heart centre is the very essence of being that the mind does not want us to find.
