What Brings Me Life...

What brings me life is embedded in the heart and soul: it is the mystery that unfolds in ways that we can never imagine.

And sometimes I want to know how it will all end up. I want to have a crystal ball and know about 5 years on.




But what brings me life is the present moment—the not knowing that requires trust and faith—trust and faith that is often bigger than I am.

What brings me life is leaning into the unknown—knowing that I don’t have to know it all—releasing the grip of fear and opening up my arms and my heart to love.

As the Beatles say, "Love is all there is." And why try to figure it all out when life is truly a mystery?

What brings me life is traveling through the mystery with other seekers and dreamers—companions on the journey.

What brings me life is the a-ha of now and the realization that today is a good day and today is all we have and love is all there is.

I love the "a-ha of now" comment. That is great! I needed to read these words this morning. Thanks!
