There is a life-force within your soul, seek that life.
There is a gem in the mountain of your body, seek that mine.
O traveler, if you are in search of That
Don’t look outside, look inside yourself and seek That.
~Rumi
What is the point of living if we aren’t enjoying ourselves? This is the question that came to me as I was thinking about my full to-do list and worrying about an upcoming presentation. And it stopped me in my tracks.
When I took a look at all the things that seemed so important to accomplish, clear seeing showed me that everything was just fine. Nothing was late, and all was well.
It’s a pattern that can grip me—the need to do and keep up with tasks—and it was beautiful when the light of awareness pierced through these false and stressful thoughts. Immediately, I was home—to peace, relaxation, and pure enjoyment.
Here, I’m empty of conditioning and fully available to life!
