Notes to Myself - 10

Courage is the name given to the sacred child born of a wedlock between fear and love.

All seeking is but an attempt to 'come back' to rest in the moment. It is when we seek that we know and understand how to come back....and so we swing like a pendulum, pushed and pulled by our desires...but that is the only way the pendulum can come back to rest and know what it is to 'rest' into life.

******************************

True power is not about taking charge or control over something or someone.....it is about being in touch with yourself and all of life...then, you don't feel the need to control anything or anyone, because you don't resist life....you simply flow with it.... It is only when you give your 'power' away that you become truly powerful.

******************************

When you feel judged or triggered by a person, you usually want to close the door to that person, and look to someone else who will see you for who you are. Yes, both are okay, as long as you leave the door slightly ajar. Because when you close the door, Life has a way of bringing the same thing right back to you in another way and through another door or window. When you leave the door slightly ajar, and still keep away for whatever reasons, you are making space inside for something important to enter and take its rightful place....the thought about feeling judged....and you begin to start living with it even if unconsciously. Because that thought holds the key to one of the darkest closets inside you, that you have locked away and forgotten about. Hold that thought for as long as it takes, and you will come to see one day how it was a good idea to leave that door a little ajar...

*****************************

We can speak of sustainability only when we can deeply know and LOVE the death of something - whether that is love, a relationship, a product, a creation, development, or whatever else......when we come from and do things from a place of FEAR of the death of something, it cannot be sustainable. When we come from a place of LOVE for the death of something, sustainability gets woven into it, even without us trying to do something about it. Sustainability can emerge only when we can see and trust the cycles of nature and life implicitly....knowing that what is alive now carries with it the death of something else from the past, and its own death.

All that I did not get has given me what I have today.
