I am practicing a summer pause for several weeks as I renew, reflect, refresh and replenish myself from the inside out. I hope that each of you will do the same in aspects of your lives where you are able to.
Understanding that so many things call to us that we cannot set down, yet even if just one or two things can be, please ponder this invitation.
Wherever you are finding yourselves in this now moment my desire for each of us is that we remember that no one will do this for us. It’s an inside job, and we can be discerning as to when and how we desire to show up in our day to day lives.
No pushing, soldiering on, over extending ourselves when a simple, no, is a complete sentence without an explanation. I have noticed how our hearing appears to dissipate after the no. It’s wasted energy and breath as the person is on to the next person on their list, who might be delighted to be the one to say an energetic, yes.
The paradox about leaning how to say, no, is that it opens the conduit for all the yes moments that truly are that, a whole hearted, yes.
I will return after my pause, yet in the meantime, please allow yourselves one as well. I guarantee it’s a practice and it does become easier as we flex and grow this valuable muscle.
The world does not stop spinning on its axis when we do. We are not hired jugglers and no longer need to keep the plates spinning and all the balls in the air. We can drop a few, set them down, not pick them back up and offer ourselves a pause. Of this I know for sure. The only obstacle standing in our way might simply be us?
We cannot trade empty for empty
We must go to the waterfall
For there’s a break in the
cup that holds love,
Inside us all. ~ David Wilcox
