Masterful Living

 

Today, being my birthday, I'm giving myself the gift of time and space. I took a few days of work and took myself on my own personal a poetry writing retreat in Ojai. 

At first the inspiration was slow in coming, as the intensity of the drive over and the cares of life slowly melted away. And slowly, gently, I fell into the zone where rhythm and rhyme met in my heart and spilled out onto the page in a matter of minutes. And then there it was. A new creation, whole and complete, came through me, not mine per se, but entrusted to me to unleash into form. 

I was faithful. I showed up. I cleared the time and space and dropped distraction and resistance. So what was waiting in the silence could emerge and take its place in consciousness. 

I imagine that each of us was likewise lovingly created. Could it be that who we are at our essence, has always been, and at just the right moment in time, Creator chose to be a conduit and released us into form, giving us breath and life, then entrusted us to stand were eternal?

Today on the anniversary of my birth into physical form, I'm feeling thankful for the life flowing in, around, and through me, that I was created by my Creator to create. That every day is a new opportunity to re-create myself, my life, and to amplify beauty and grace in the world.
