Time to probe the fearful and wonderful world within...
This has been my singular quest for the past several years.
Often it feels like doing nothing.
What I've discovered in a paradoxical way, is that nothing actually
contains everything. It's ironic, isn't it? I've learned its about
shifting perspective; thinking with a wider lens or a stronger microscope.
It's shifted around mistaken assumptions and revealed how expectations affect reality.
Often it feels hyper self absorbed.
This is the most difficult one to wrestle with. And I do mean wrestle.
It's another paradox wrapped in common sense.
The only place I can really do anything is inside my own field of being.
Attending to my own inner workings leads to a more whole hearted stance with others.
Being among other people and interacting with them (this does not mean pleasing them) adds a richness to the journey. There's never a lack of work to do, it just doesn't often look like work on the surface.
You're not going to impress anyone with your accomplishments and that's ok.
It's not about impressing anyone...its about being humbly impressed with your self and your capacity for growth and change. Even when you learn you are a daunting mixture of contradictions with plenty of unkempt corners and closets. That's where mercy and compassion are honed; toward yourself and subsequently toward others.
Don't let anyone tell you it's not worthwhile.
Being the conductor of your own life's meaning is as worthwhile as we make it.
Namaste'
