Through my meditations, I often come to this place where I can sense the energy around me

It comes from the trees, the sky, the birds, the plants in my yard, the house and everything in it

Then the people in my universe – my parents who have passed away, my kids, my brothers, my family, friends, neighbors

Then the pets that have stayed with me, past or present

So this spirit, this energy must also reside within me, for me to be able to resonate with all that is
around me

Within me as it is within this body

Looking back, this body, this life

Through this body living this life, I get to experience, to live

So whatever experiences I had, it is my soul that guided me to them, something I meant to have

I am realizing that if I want to live more fully, or experience whatever I can

I need to let go of the barriers that block me from new experiences

Be it the inner world, or the outer world

Be it looking at a flower in a deeper way, or appreciating the light coming through a tree and its leaves in such glorious beauty

That is what all this inner works are for – to clear myself of barriers so that I can see

See beauty, see life, and through all that, see the infinite peace, love, light

Of course, you cannot see one without seeing the other. Darkness and depth of the abyss is also part of the dimension

To see the darkness within myself helps me understand the darkness outside of me

Helps me see that it is understandable, as it is within me too

It also helps me neutralize it within myself and face it without fear

To appreciate light and love consciously

To say, yes, I have within me all the darkness and everything associated with it, emotions or thoughts

But being aware of them, I intentionally choose love and light

When I see through the lens of love and light

It almost doesn’t matter what I see through my eyes

There is always beauty in everything

Everything

Touching a body of water – it tells me, let things go. Such free spirit

Touching a tree – it tells me to feel its roots, how grounded and strongly it stands, no matter what. Such a grounding force

Watching the clouds – they drift, they flow. We are water as well. They say. We come and go.

We come from the water below, and we float above. All is connected, yet there is no certainty in our paths

On and on

This world, this earth, this beautiful place…

Even in darkness, there is beauty in its silence

It is up to me to explore to whatever degree I want to

Sometimes I feel tired, saying to myself, can’t you just rest?

But there seems to be an inner voice calling out and driving me on – explore, see what else can you
experience

As a human, these are the two polarities within me, among other polarities

I understand

Balance is the key. There is beauty within each pole…
