I will live this day with a sense of appreciative joy, expectant serendipity, and conscious connection.
--- I will remember to look down and see how the beauty of the earth supports me. ----

Touching Into Wisdom
Recently I spent the week of April 11-16, 2017 at the Amrit Yoga Institute in Salt Springs, FL for their Master Detox - April Cleanse program with Dr Brian Healey and Indu of the Amrit staff. See https://www.amrityoga.org for future offerings.
Part of the program is for one to identify things that need to be released (detoxed), to chart next steps, and to cultivate being present. The program was limited to eight of us. The Amrit campus provided a generous amount of nature and stillness to soak in.
Here a few writings from this time. ........
Touching Into Wisdom - Journal – 4-15-17 a.m. – Salt Springs
This is what I have to say to you …
You sometimes find it hard to commit.
You are opening to new paths with thinking and energizing.
But what is the heart saying?
Your fear is that you will make a mistake.
Know this – there are no mistakes. You are never off the correct path.
Find the pace that satisfies. Now live into it.
Let it live in you. Both path and pace. Live the “just right” life. Not seeking, grasping for more but feeling the fullness of enough.
Love the earth. Love other people. Love yourself.
Each path you select builds you, prepares you for the next mountain of opportunities. Each path supports others. There are no mistakes. Love is the way. Do what you can and let the rest be.
Paths can be for a reason, season, or lifetime.
Stop over analyzing and ask what the heart wants.
Sit with it. Feel it. Does it serve Higher Purpose?
What is that? Write it out.
FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
Is it for self or Self?
Is it for Self thru self?
The correct path is one that feels light and right.
TAKE THIS PATH. Pause when needed. Then reset the compass needle for your true north.
Though the path may seem to be a spiral, instead of a straight line, live it with gratitude and a welcoming of the mystery that is you and that is all around you. Live each day with the welcoming acceptance of your goal.
This moment now has been designed for you to make the choice. Tomorrow is a delay, a postponing of your expanding good. Be at peace knowing that you are making the right choice. Live in wonder, grace, gratitude and expectancy of all good.
Let it be a continuing engagement of simplify, clarify and trust. This is the path. The compass point on the horizon may change. The winds may change. With hand to tiller and sail, thought and heart (wisdom and grace), move with gentle ease.
There will be moments of giving and of receiving.
Open humbly to both.
There will be moments of both touching into the relative and into the absolute. Accept with curiosity.
There will be moments of completion and incompletion. Flow through these with the dance that you have come here to dance.
This breath, this word, this touch are plantings of seeds. Each will sprout when nurtured with love, unconditional love. Are you ready to receive as well as give to open the borders of your tent? See what awaits you with tomorrow’s sunrise with joyous anticipation of good. Touch the earth and the sky. You are here.
There is a radiance in you. Peel back the layers and let it shine

Opening Into
Sunrise. Sunset.
What did you do today?
Was it with compassion and kindness,
and perhaps
with a welcoming smile?
Was it with rush, mindless repetition
or gratitude
and grace?
Each breath is a doorway
into being
present in the moment.
What visitor did you invite into
your circle of awareness today?
The sea gull flying overhead
was in flow.
The squirrel climbing
was displaying dynamic balance.
The tree leaves were kissing each other
in their dance
with the wind’s music.
Did you miss it?
Go back.
It’s not too
late.
Give the fullness of who you are
into this
moment.

Arising
Awareness
There
is an arising awareness.
Can you feel it?
It
beholds this moment with
the consciousness of Grace.
There
is an arising awareness
that brings evolving wisdom.
It
is based in love
and supports clarity and truth.
There
is an arising awareness
that invites the dance of union
Its
name has been sung thru millennia
and it is you.
