I've been re-reading some Carlos Castenada in between the other 3 or 4 books I have going and ran across this quote, which I took into Meditation this morning...............
"Keep in mind that a path is only a path.
If you feel you should not follow it, you must not stay with it under any condition.
This is not an affront to oneself or to others,
If dropping it is what your heart tells you to do.
Your decision to stay on the path or leave it must be free of fear or ambition.
Try as many times as you think necessary.
Then ask yourself, alone, one question.
Does this Path have Heart?
A Path with Heart will make for a joyful journey.
A Path without Heart will make you curse life.
One makes you strong; the other weak. "
WOW! So I took that One Question into Meditation.............Does MY PATH have HEART?
Struggling with challenges at work and at home, I asked for Clarity and Guidance......
The Message, The Answer was pretty short and sweet..............
The Path You are on IS HEART
The Path you are on IS LOVE
Yours is a Heart filled to overflowing with LOVE.
You Know how to Love Others
NOW
LOVE YOURSELF!!
Wherever you GO and Whatever you Do
You will take the Path with You.
Following this, came a series of pictures of situations and how different they would be without my Loving Heart. How would some of my stories look if I had someone like me in my life? Well, I do, ME!! My Intention to be a Beneficial Presence in the World, includes ME. Both work and home are canvasses where I can express my Gifts and Talents. Places I can contribute in Service. But, I must remember to be In Service to myself as well.
I will close with a quote by Sidney J. Harris......
"Every rule in the book can be broken, except one................
...........Be who you are, and Become all you were meant to Be."
I AM the PATH
I AM the GIFT
Namaste
