Today I was walking in the park on a beautiful early spring day, and I was thinking a thousand thoughts and not very present with myself.
I saw this stone and some people would not call it a work of beauty or art, but to me I began to settle down into myself as I stared at this magnificent gift from the Universe.
It has all kinds of colors and textures and shapes. There are gouges and other stones around it that help tell it's story. Perhaps it has been setting here for hundreds of years and remains undisturbed by anything that goes on around it.
Even with fungus and moss growing on it, it holds it's seat without anger or anxiety. I think that this rock has a lot of wisdom to teach us. If we can stay learn to stay in our center, we will bring more peace not only to our inner world, but also to our outter world. People will notice the change in how calm we are. We will build new relationships and keep old ones more easily.
Finding our center or our calmness can be built stronger through meditation. Meditation can be anything you want it to be. Meditation is simply a practice. Something you do everyday at the same time that brings peace to your heart.
We need to remember that we are all divine beings. We must nurture our own divinity. In essence, that may mean building a sanctuary for our own inner peace. No one else is going to do this for us. It is our own practice, but it is a practice that will pay off and that is worth it. Even doing deep breathing a few minutes a day can be a practice.
Let's experiment and be curious about how we want our sanctuary of inner peace to look.
Many Blessings today!
