"In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair..." ~ Howard Thurman
Every time I still my mind with my practice or with my breath or the simple awareness that I summon from within...I seek this whisper - listening for it to guide me and heal me along my path.
Life is interesting - the relationships we forge here are more telling as they serve our deeper understanding of self, who we are as individuals but more so, who we are to others (with them, for them).
I have always likened my children to mirrors - upon their birth, living as if a mirror were before me reflecting every thing - every word, every action, every loving and not so loving expression, I have met my edge and gripped it with ferocity, with determined white fingertips clinging to all that I know and never will.
My truth is deeper now and I see every relationship I am a part of serving as my mirror - casting back the raw interplay of the human dance.
May I cultivate the strength to never look away from that reflection, may I honor the whisper of my heart as it nudges me toward authenticity...for myself but also for those I love and cherish.
