This day, this moment.

3/21/2018

with my heart open and my world on fire, I cry out to the heavens asking only for courage and peace. And I make beauty with anything I can get my hands on. This , I believe, is helping my mind to become more pliable, better able to hold the chaos; it is helping my heart to stay open, sending and receiving love every moment. What do you do that helps your mind and heart on this journey.

An excellent question and one I feel I constantly examin. Attachment, intellectualizing, and value seem to be my door; love, non-dualistic thinking, and feeling (versus my constant intellectualization) may be the “cure” in the abundance of chaos along with permission to experience the heart opening in all its vulnerability. Sometimes I wish I had a single concept/activity that would deliver this to me and yet it occurs moment by moment experience by experience. I catch glimpses of it most often in the shower signing to neighbors, curiousity towards another’s beingness, and cruising with the birds. Thanks for prompting this reflection.

For me, I like the simplicity and familiarity of the 3rd step prayer: "God, I offer myself to Thee-- to build with me and do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always."

Thank you Mary Rose for engaging this dialogue. You remind me of the prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi: “lord make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to enter all life. Amen.”

I just love that prayer and the fact that he was the patron Saint of the animals😻

Dancing and yoga keep me sane, and open my heart. And dancing is going to the next level for me now, as Kevin and I are taking lessons together. It is humbling to be beginners together, and learning to follow my husband even if that means temporarily leaving the music. I tell him, and myself, it’s okay, it’s all good, and we’ll get back in sync eventually. In life as well as dance.

Thanks for sharing Tracey.
I love the image of you and Kevin gliding gracefully and then not so graceful across the dance floor and then back into grace. Beautiful.
