Last week was touch, it was tiresome, restlessness and emotionally draining. I think it might have been the new moon shift and I can accept that. However this week has been the opposite. I have been smiling and very MerryAnnMP. I hope it stays this way. But I must learn to let go of the idea that as much as I want to always be happy, there will also times when things are difficult. I need to accept that difficulties is a passing moment, learning experience and growth.
“As spiritual searchers we need to become freer and freer of the attachment to our own smallness in which we get occupied with me-me-me. Pondering on large ideas or standing in front of things which remind us of a vast scale can free us from acquisitiveness and competitiveness and from our likes and dislikes. If we sit with an increasing stillness of the body, and attune our mind to the sky or to the ocean or to the myriad stars at night, or any other indicators of vastness, the mind gradually stills and the heart is filled with quiet joy. Also recalling our own experiences in which we acted generously or with compassion for the simple delight of it without expectation of any gain can give us more confidence in the existence of a deeper goodness from which we may deviate.” - Ravi Ravindra
