Soul Musings/Day 23: A Much Greater Hunger

10885240_1533300286926668_8256552856101282060_n

I have been sitting with this quote for a bit assessing how it feels inside of me. Waiting for an expanded awareness to emerge in the space.

Mother Teresa was in service to many of those that had no one to care about them or for them. The pain of “no meaning” is striking for humans.

Humans, animals, plants, cells and atoms thrive and co-create when in the company of their own kind, in collaboration and cooperation on behalf of evolving life.

In the absence of the energy of love, compassion, kindness and caring our bodies simply waste, our psyches reverting to a poverty of the Soul.

As we near the end of the year your private “hunger project” may be to reach out to at least one person in loving attention and concern.

To feed their Soul.

Inspiring New Possibilities, Living From the Soul of Life While Co-creating Well Being of Body, Being, Heart and Planet….One Breath At A Time

Soul Musings is a 31-day practice for the month of December immersed in deep listening to what is emerging and unfolding day by day.  Eight sentences with occasional resources to explore more deeply.

Each post, invited by Soul, allows the words to emerge unscathed from prior planning, editing, or censorship.  Dwelling in uncertainty and dipping a toe into mystery this union of words is an attempt to resonate within an innate way of Being…. returning “home”.

Soul Musings/Day 12: Even For Just A Moment

Kindness

Today begin as so many other days – with gratitude for all that I have and dedication to live the moments with love. What the day returned to me was kindness and insight.

An e-mail revealed that a friend had gifted me money into one of my accounts. This was unexpected and based on my simply being who I am in the world.

Taking this awareness with me to the post office to mail Christmas packages I noticed how kind people were being to each other in line, going the extra distance to assist customers, and opening doors for those with packages in hand.

As I headed for my car there was a woman with packages piled high on top of her car and of course only two arms to carry them. My two arms were added as I went back into the post office with some of her packages.

Even for just a moment simply Be who you are…..living in love.

Soul Musings/Day 7: I Am A Human Being

img_2141

I often wonder if we looked upon everyone as a valuable being what our world would be like.

Where would the acceptance, love, compassion and connection take us?

Taking a few moments to be curious and connect as I did with a man named Joseph a couple of years ago now.

Joseph stood on the meridian of a busy intersection with his sketch pad in hand asking if anyone might want to purchase one of his sketches.

Over many weeks I carried on conversations with Joseph for the few minutes that I waited at the light and begin to see the creativity that was yearning to be expressed in a man that had difficulty even walking the few steps up and down.

One day I decided to give him a “commission” in the form of a challenge which turned out to be a request for a self portrait.

He delivered that self portrait one day with a huge smile and a feeling of accomplishment.

The quick hug I gave him and the money that exchanged hands as I stepped out of the car while waiting in line for the light to change, altered both of our lives in a way that is still spilling out into the world…..

Restoring Your Faith in Humanity

Passion, Power and Purpose by Pamela Turczyn

“Slow down
Open your eyes,
and every living thing will tell you its story.  Dewitt Jones

I had a conversation with a good friend the other day about how many good, loving and compassionate acts of kindness and support were going on every single minute of every day.  We are lead to believe that the negative, ruthless, cruel and violent actions far outweigh the good.

I, for one, do not believe that.  It is in our conscious acts of extending a smile, a kind word, an unselfish and fearless offering of our time, passion,  and attention that we heal the connections that yearn to come back into the whole of the fabric of the quilt we call life. Through the potential of our “passion, power and purpose” (thank you Pamela Turczyn!) we sweep away the fears that keep us locked in a prison of our own creation.

The link below has captured via images many of these moments.  It served as a meditation the other morning and changed the fabric of my day.  This week remember that you can be the initiator of one of these actions.
