allow peace to unfold, all on its own
Good Afternoon Friends,
Sometimes the Holidays are gorgeous. Sometimes they are hard. Sometimes they will break your heart, and sometimes they break you open.
My heart is breaking today, and a piece of it is breaking open. That is enough.
This morning I sat early in the morning, early, before the horizon had even a hint of light. There was pain, this pain that said I am not providing my kids with a good Christmas, that they would feel lonely and without a base.
Then I remembered the invocation I have been sitting with on mornings that feel hard. I remembered that perhaps the day was already perfect. Here. Holy, all on it's own. I remembered the possibility that perhaps I did not have to create the holy beauty that I wish to surround my children. Perhaps it is already here, perhaps I could trust that.
I sat and followed my own guidance. Here it is below. My day is breaking open in sweetness, and I am not the one that has to summon that. It is already here. Always.
Today, allow everything to unfold perfectly, on it's own. Open your eyes and look around, gently. Take a breath. Look at the stillness & quiet in everything. Rest your eyes and soften your breath, and see that the things surrounding you are incredibly still and silent, all on their own. Look at that. Feel yourself intuitively lean back into that peace. From here you can relax, melt, and watch the day unfold in perfect holiness, all on its own. There is ancient peace and solemn joy surrounding you. Now, and for all time. Join it. It is waiting for you.
Remember, there is a peace that passeth all understanding, here, always. It is your birthright, and it does not go away when you can't feel it.
My love to you today,
Evangeline
